    Asked on May 10th, 2025

    Can you help me to get the Visa for Turkmenistan?

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Could you check whatever I did online and confirm everything for Visa is OK before I purchase the air ticket?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      Our Operations team will review the application and contact you if there are any issues. We cannot advise the status of the Invitation as it has to go through to the Turkmenistan consulate. We advise to just book your flights when you are ready, but would recommend that you do not purchase non changeable /non refundable airfares

    Asked on January 21st, 2025

    My wife and i are interested in a combined trip to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. We have a couple of issues. My Wife is 66 years old and a rock climber. I am 73 years old and play tennis daily. But i seem to be outside your age limit. As far as food, we are both vegan and I am gluten free. Will there be anything for us to eat?

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      We need to book a flight to Tashkent, should we arrive in Tashkent on the day before, May 22? We fly out of Ashgabat, should we plan on leaving on June 5th? What is your advice. I'd like to look into the flights before booking.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      On day 1, May 23, nothing is planned for the day except for the welcome meeting, which is usually at 6pm. You can definitly arrive on the same day! Arriving a day before is great if you wanted to spend some time in the city on your own. On the last day, June 4th, nothing is planned. It's a departing day and a departure transfer is included.
