Turkmenistan Attractions & Landmarks Guide

The least-visited of Central Asia’s “Stans,” Turkmenistan is mostly desert and mountains, with a west coast bordering the Caspian Sea. A tightly controlling government mandates that you take guided tours of the country, which would be a good idea in any event due to the often harsh terrain. If you go, you’ll encounter remote areas that hark back to the days of camel caravans and the ancient Silk Road, as well as famously hospitable people.
