Berdy announced he is giving up power and his son is taking over (turns out Turkmenistan is kingdom, who knew). Turkmenistan even during their sham presidential elections (99 percent for glorious leader) in past never issued visa, it certainly wont reopen borders when transition of power is still in works so most likely, no dice for this year. Maybe next one.

Such a pitty.... with Azerbayan also being closed it makes it impossible to take the ferry from Baku to Aktau neither...
Our "ideal" route would have been
Turkey
Iran
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Tajikistan
Kirguistan
Kazachstan
Russia
Mongolia

But as it seems we will not be able to go any further than Iran...

Depending on your time limit, rules changing many times and probably ferry over caspian will go run again in future.

Unless something big changed, that is not the case. You can fly in without IDC if you are from selected countries. However for land or sea crossing IDC is requires as KZ London embassy confirmed to me few weeks ago.
