Historically one of the region’s most important trading centres, far-flung Turkmenistan is an ancient, remote and enigmatic land that few travellers have visited. Influenced by ancient Persia and the Mongols, the Seljuk Empire and Soviet Russia, Turkmenistan is home to ancient sites and expansive archaeological remains. Our Turkmenistan itineraries include the capital Ashgabat, Kunya Urgench and Nisa but can be extended to include other key sites, Uzbekistan and the cities of the Silk Road.
