Discover Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is best approached region by region — pick a hub, then walk, ride or drive outward. Expect sun-baked ridges and evening town squares. Ashgabat works as a gateway; the character often sits in the regions beyond. Broadly part of Central Asia. Languages you will meet include Russian, Turkmen. Slow days here usually beat checklist tourism.
