TOUR OVERVIEW
This tour is your chance to see Nowruz, but Turkmen style. And everything is more fun Turkmen style! Although Nowruz is originally a Persian holiday, marking the start of spring and the start of their new year, it has been well and truly commandeered by Central Asia. You'll find Nowruz celebrations all throughout Central Asia, with differening extents of extravagance and authenticity, but Turkmenistan has really taken it to the next level and made it their own.
Of course no trip to Turkmenistan is complete without a trip to the Gates of Hell, so naturally we will head there for a spectacular night of camping. And amongst the Nowruz celebrations we'll also explore Ashgabat and show you all our favourite spots around the city.
