Day 4. ASHGABAT – TURKMENBASHI – YANGIKALA

In the morning we fly from Ashgabat before Turkmenbashi. Upon arrival, we head to amazing natural sites - Canyons Yangikala in the North-West of Turkmenistan in the Balkan velayat (region). From Turkmen Yangi-kala - these are fiery fortresses. The canyons received this name because of the predominant red color of the rocks that make up the mountain ranges and cliffs. The canyons are an incredibly beautiful sight. Once upon a time, the waters of the ancient sea splashed here (and even now the waters of the Karabagazgol Bay, which was previously part of the Caspian Sea, can be seen from many points). The sea receded, revealing steep banks and huge hills. The most interesting thing is the colors of the rocks, from pure white to fiery red. Depending on the time of day and lighting, the mountains change right before your eyes. The canyons are especially beautiful at sunset, when everything around is painted in fiery tones.

Day 5. TURKMENBASHI – NOKHUR – KOVATA

After breakfast we go to the village Nohur. Nokhur was included in the list of “1009 most romantic places in the world.” The path to this “paradise” is long and difficult - ups, downs, mountain serpentines. But all the hardships of the road are forgotten at the sight of this place of rare beauty, closed on four sides by high mountains. Next we move to the underground lake Kov-Ata, located 107 km from Ashgabat. The Turkmen name Kow-Ata means “father of caves”. The water in the lake has a constant temperature of 33-37°C.
