Gorgeous shades of ochre and pink in bands stretch across canyon walls which rise from the desert plateau. Remote and peaceful with probably no one there but yourselves and the passing camels and horses. The stillness, quiet and stunning scenery are worth the approximately 100 miles drive from either Balkanabat or Türkmenbaşy, on a mainly reasonable road for most of the way, best travelled in 4x4's. We went on route from Balkanabat to Türkmenbaşy with an overnight stop at the basic Gozli Ata pilgrim site. However camping would have been my preferred option, as the pilgrim site was very busy on our visit. The limited very basic bathroom facilities could not cope with the number of people staying there and privacy was almost non existent.
