アシュガバート

一晩で： アシュガバート (ホテル)

Breakfast at the hotel. In the afternoon, drive to the burning Darvaza Gas Crater (about 276 km from Ashgabat), one of the top international tourist destinations. The area is rich in natural gas, and the crater has been burning for over 50 years, shining like a pearl in the middle of the Karakum Desert. One of the most vivid features of this trip is the fresh desert air and a taste of nomadic life. At night, while the light of the gas crater hits the sky, you camp in a Turkmen national yurt or in private tents and have a barbecue dinner. This unique landscape will fascinate you and make you want to come again.

Breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, visit the Turkmen Carpet Museum, one of the best in Central Asia and one of the cultural centres of Turkmenistan, with about 2,000 carpets, including rare ones, featuring designs of the Tekke, Yamud, Sarik and Chodor tribes. Among them are the smallest carpet, made to hold keys, and the world’s largest handmade carpet, 301 m² in size, woven in 2001 and entered in the Guinness Book of Records in 2003. Then drive to a horse stable to see the national pride of the Turkmen people – the Akhal-Teke horses, the most beautiful horses in the world. Turkmens began breeding Akhal-Teke horses 5,000 years ago, and this unique breed was never mixed with other breeds. Illustrious emperors such as Alexander the Great and Darius I desired to own them. There are over 35 beautiful horses on the farm, and according to local belief, every sick person who touches an Akhal-Teke horse will soon get well.
