Traveler•Written May 2025Could you check whatever I did online and confirm everything for Visa is OK before I purchase the air ticket?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written 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, 2025My 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?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
On this tour, the age requirement is 12+, no maximum age required. You are definitely welcome to book on this trip! The Vegan meal options are limited but it can be accommodated on tour! In regards to Gluten free options, there are also limited. Once the tour is booked, or at least held for you, we will need to confirm with the local team that we can accommodate it on this trip and that there will be enough options for you.

Traveler•Written January 2025We 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 AdventuresOperator•Written 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.
