| Country of desert, sanddunes around Kekirdek |
In summer 2008 I started my silk road trip in Turkmenistan. We visited first the capital Ashgabat in the south. We stayed in the desert in the small village Kerkirdek north of the capital. From there we travelled by train to the north to visit the historical site Konye Urgench before heading to Uzbekistan. |

Fantastic and very interesting page! Looks so nice to sleep out in the desert! Although I'm not sure about the rolling down the hill-thing. Aren't there any easier way to get pregnant? :) /Henrik | TheWanderingCamel Sun Oct 25, 2009 11:33 UTC
Interesting page - a place I'd love to go to. Just home from Uzbekistan (again) and Central Asia still calls. Next time... | BruceDunning Mon May 4, 2009 23:27 UTC
Great perspective of the area, and the sand is awesome | starship Fri Mar 27, 2009 02:50 UTC
What a fascinating page! It was interesting to learn about the yurts, felts, and especially the Akhal Teke horse and Niyazov's Ruhnama! Great photos too. It must have been an amazing trip!! |
