The least visited country in Central Asia, Turkmenistan, with its rich past and its fabulous landscapes, will delight both the hikers and the adventurers. The colourful canyons, the scorching Karakoum desert, and dinosaur footprints are merely a few examples of the marvels you'll find in Turkmenistan. Eager to discover new cultures? Visit Konye-Ourgentch, Misrian and Merv, the ancient cities, taking you back centuries ago, to the time when caravans travelled the Silk Road. If the gas crater moonscapes in Darvaza aren't enough evidence of Turkmenistan's extraordinary findings, you'll even be able to meet some locals in Ashgabat. The hikers among you will certainly choose to explore the Yangykala Canyon, discovering a desert filled with technicolour, and completely off the beaten track.
