What Makes Our Tours Different?
We combine gastronomy with stunning landscapes:
Enjoy lunch in a yurt (ethnic house) in the heart of the Karakum Desert, with a breathtaking view of the famous Darvaza Gas Crater, often called the "Door to Hell"
Delight in dinner near Mary under the stars, featuring gazanlama — tender meat slow-cooked in a traditional earth oven.
Only our tourists get special access to truly authentic experiences that most visitors never see:
To old houses in the "Nohur" village, where dishes are prepared according to pre-Islamic recipes.
To private horse and camel breeding farms near Ashgabat.
To local markets to see how ingredients for exclusive national feasts are selected

Bake traditional chorek bread in a clay tamdyr oven, mastering the age-old technique passed down through generations.
