In my amazing month’s journey through Central Asia, high on the list of spectacular events wan the night in a yurt camp below the extraordinary Darvaza Gas Crater. In the middle of nowhere over miles of sandy tracks (calling them roads would be a vast exaggeration) we arrived at one of the world’s wonders. When darkness fell the sky was alite with the glow of burning natural gas. A short walk from the camp led to the crater. Again in the morning, before dawn I returned to see the sunrise. It was truly, a once in a lifetime experience

This is a big mosque with nice ornate tiles and inscriptions of allah everywhere. It's a nice place to drop by and take pictures

Turkmenistan is known for its amazing carpets and a tour of the museum shows you why. The carpets are beautiful. I suggest taking the tour as the guide explains the different styles and how the carpets are made. According to Guinness book of world records, the largest carpet in the world is hanging in the museum. The guide was really knowledgeable and after the tour showed me how to wear the married ladies hat and scarf. She did do because I expressed an interest and it was fun. Photos are allowed only in certain areas of the museum.

Awesome experience! Local name is Bedow Hippodrome. Great place to see beautiful Turkmenistan Akhal-Teke horses race. Truly magestic animals. Grandstand has various sections you can watch the races from. Also, there is a huge video screen that shows you details about each horse, name, and live action. When in Ashgabat, if you get the opportunity to go see a race, you gotta go. 10/10 A+!

This is a very opulent and outstanding monument which is out of white marble and with black and gold statues around it. It is really worth seeing and quite magnificent as is the park around it. A wedding party arrived at the same time as we did to have their wedding photographs taken there.
