In recent years, Turkmenistan has become an increasingly popular destination for lovers of unique nature and ancient history. Recently, Turkmen authorities announced the launch of new tourist routes that will cover several iconic sites.
One of the routes leads to the famous Darvaza Crater, also known as the "Gates of Hell," located in the heart of the Karakum Desert. This natural phenomenon attracts tourists from all over the world with its mysterious flame, which has been burning for decades.
Other routes include visits to the ancient city of Mary with its impressive archaeological sites and the mausoleum complex in the ancient capital of Merv—one of the most important centers of the Great Silk Road. Tourists will also be able to explore the ancient ruins of Nisa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tourists will be offered comfortable accommodations in Ashgabat hotels, as well as the opportunity to use the services of a guide who will provide insights into the history and culture of Turkmenistan. Tour operators promise a variety of excursion programs suitable for both active travelers and those who prefer a more leisurely experience of nature and historical monuments.
These new routes offer visitors a deeper dive into the culture and traditions of this enigmatic country, which has preserved its unique historical and natural landmarks.
