Turkmenistan

Once a stop of immense trade value along the Silk Road, Turkmenistan is now a thriving country, and top Central Asia destination to visit. With a vast amount of beautiful attractions that appeal to every type of traveller, make sure to add it to your list of must-see travel countries.

The capital city of Ashgabat is modern and refreshing, with deep underlying love and admiration for the old ways of the land. Bazaars and market places are the way of life in the city centre, and you’ll be amazed when walking from the many mosques (Turkmenistan has the most on all of Central Asia) ordained in gold and silver – to the dusty and traditional markets around the corners.

There are so many age-old places of intrigue to visit on your trip to Turkmenistan. An intriguing location to visit is the oasis city of Merv in the Kara Kum desert. It was once known as the largest city in the world and the original birthplace of Hinduism. There is also the ruined city of Nissa, south of the capital city. This city was once part of the Parthian Empire, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
