About this trip
Seven days through Turkmenistan with your own private guide and driver, covering the country's ancient cities, desert landscapes and a horse breed few outsiders ever get close to.
You go from the burning Darvaza Gas Crater to the ruins of Merv and the Islamic architecture of Kunya Urgench, with a stop in the tribal village of Nokhur where goat horns still mark the cemeteries.
Departures run daily and the itinerary can be shaped around you, so it works whether you're travelling as a couple, a family or want a slower, more relaxed pace throughout.
