About this tour

A journey from Kunya Urgench to the Darvaza Gas Crater (Door to Hell) in Turkmenistan offers a stark contrast between ancient Silk Road history and dramatic, otherworldly desert landscapes. Highlights include exploring UNESCO-listed 14th-century mausoleums, driving through the vast Karakum Desert, and camping overnight beside the blazing, man-made crater.
