Synopsis

The second edition of the bestselling Far Flung Places guide to Turkmenistan, with increased coverage of all major cities, and updated listings.

Turkmenistan, a country once closed to visitors during its time as a Soviet republic, is now attracting more intrepid tourists. Beautiful ancient Silk Road cities contrast with striking marble-clad modern architecture. Mix in unconventional leaders, an overwhelming choice in types of vodka, and a massive gas crater burning in the middle of the desert. There is a lot to see and enjoy in this unusual central Asian destination.

Detailed information of the cities and attractions with maps and invaluable contact information. Learn how to travel around and find the best places to visit, stay and eat.

About this title

Review

Caravanistan (The Silk Road Travel Guide) Book Review for the previous edition:

"Here is finally an update to Paul Brummell's seminal effort. This guidebook gives good practical advice about what's important: how to visit Merv, where to find wi-fi in Ashgabat or a vegetarian meal in Mary."

"The writing style is pleasant and humorous, and Proudman does not forget to add some entertaining and inspiring storytelling into the book. All in all, an excellent guidebook anyone traveling to Turkmenistan will find very useful, for an unbeatable price."

"All the places you are likely to visit are there, and the updated inside information he brings is invaluable. At this low price, it comes thoroughly recommended both for the tourist on a transit visa or those on a guided tour."
