Not trying to start a debate or anything. But I noticed there are lot of atheists in this sub, so I was wondering if this was common in turkmenistan, or is it just like a small minority.
I'm geographically challenged and extremely stupid and would like to know.
hello! question. i wanted to take a cargo ferry from azerbaijan to turkmenistan, and travel on foot or bus to uzbekistan. is this possible to get a travel visa for? or do i still need the invitation letter that google tells me about?
and also does anyone know actually how difficult it is to get a visa for here? sometimes government websites exaggerate and i would like to know the reality. i carry a ukrainian and american passport i dont know if that makes a difference.
Hi everyone,
My name is Benjamin and I’m the founder of EchtReizen, a small Dutch travel company focused on authentic, tailor-made trips to less standard destinations.
At EchtReizen, we try to do things differently. Instead of simply buying standard tours through big DMCs or large travel companies, I’m looking to build real local connections in the countries we work with. The idea is that when someone books a trip with us, they don’t just “visit” the country, they experience it together with someone who truly knows the place, the culture, the people, the food, the stories, and the hidden corners.
For Turkmenistan, I’m looking for experienced local guides, independent guides, freelancers, or small local operators who:
This is not meant to be a shady online cooperation or some anonymous business deal. If there is a good match, I would also be very happy to meet in person in Turkmenistan and really get to know the people we might work with.
Do you know a great local guide, driver-guide, small tour operator, or experienced freelancer in Turkmenistan? Or are you one yourself? Please send me a message or feel free to refer someone.
Thanks a lot! I’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations.
