Turkmenistan
Desert gates burn with Silk Road lore, April to June softens the arid mystery
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Turkmenistan is between March and May, when spring softens Ashgabat’s marble and the Karakum Desert blooms. With 20°C to 25°C days, it’s great for exploring Darvaza Gas Crater, wandering Merv’s ruins, or visiting Konye-Urgench. For cooler weather, try September to November.
