It’s breathtaking!

Yangi-Kala canyons are one of the most unique places in Turkmenistan! They are located 165 km north of Balkanabat and 190 km east of Turkmenbashi.
From the Turkmen language "yangi kala" means "fiery fortresses". The canyons got such a bizarre name due to the rains and winds that shaped and colored them with white, yellow, ocher, purple and red colors reminiscent of stone castles.
It took millions of years for the canyons to achieve such an unusual shape, although in ancient times there was the Tethys Ocean. By the way, you can even find fossilized shells, shellfish and other marine inhabitants there.
This place is especially popular among tourists who want to take a break from the bustle of the city and spend the night in tents. If you prefer hotels, then 2.5 hours and you are already in a cozy bed ?
Go on a trip with us! We will make for you the most interesting tours!
