Turkmenistan came into being following the expression of the people's will in 1991 and the passage by parliament of the Law of Independence. It is situated in Central Asia north of Kopet Dag Mountains, between the Caspian Sea and Amu Darya.The population of Turkmenistan is 5 million & the capital is Ashgabat. Turkmenistan’s horses are some of the most elegant creatures on the planet and have claimed fame throughout Asian history. The experience of riding these beautiful hot-blooded animals in their native setting of endless plains and valleys is something no visitor of Central Asia should miss. Our intensive 7-day riding itinerary is suitable for both advanced riders as well as horse-lovers with limited experience. We have chosen a location in the Kopetdag Mountains, some 80 km west of Ashgabat for the beauty of its vast countryside and the excellent and diverse riding possibilities on the plateaus and in the gorges of the two valleys. Changing our camp once and one day of trekking will help make this active trip even more interesting. |
