Turkmenistan Adventure Tours

Turkmenistan is such a unique and quirky destination that it’s impossible not to stumble upon adventure here, where unforgettable escapades are as commonplace as camel sightings on dusty backroads. Travel on an off-road safari through one of Asia’s most fearsome deserts, where roads often disappear under the sands. Ride Turkmenistan’s notorious Ak-Teke horses, likened to Feraris of the equestrian world, through rocky mountain territory. Swim in an underground sulfuric lake, or overnight under the lucid desert sky near a campfire that never extinguishes, the fiery Darvaza Gas Crater.

Turkmenistan Adventure Tours are an invitation to explore the hard-to-access and most unusual attractions of this amazing land. Each tour has been designed to give you the greatest possible journey while respecting local customs and keeping safety in mind. Many of the tours also provide opportunities for cultural enrichment through built-in historical or city day tours.
