Turkmenistan Tour $300

[stansmug]

This is interesting.
As a budget conscious traveller, where do you guys plan on flying from Ashgabat?
The only direct flights I can see are to UAE or Turkey, the ferry to Azerbaijan is not running, and I assume we would not be allowed venture out of Ashgabat to catch the ferry on this visa in any case.

I will be traveling alone in Uzbekistan in mid-late July. Would anybody be up for a short (3 days or so) group-trip to Turkmenistan around this time?

Would love to know this information too! Am thinking of traveling there in Sept. How was the trip with the guide?

Hey is anyone travelling to Turkmenistan in the beginning of September? I'm a solo traveller and I'm open to other travellers joining me so we can save some money on tours, rental cars etc

Hi! I am solotravelling around Turkmenistan 30 September-8 October (8 full days), would anybody be interested in sharing (part of) this trip? I am starting on the Farap border crossing (Uzbek border) and finishing in Ashgabat. Send me a PM.

For anyone interested in the original $300 tour from Saada Tours that HalaMadrid posted: he came back with an update after his trip.

They charged $350 extra after passing the border. viewtopic.php?f=22&p=46508#p46508

Has anyone attempted a tour at this or similar rate? $300 sounds too good got be true compared with the rates advertised by other operators online.
