Part 5/8:
In the following days, the travelers set out to discover the rich history of Turkmenistan. From the remnants of ancient Persian castles to the infamous Darvaza Gas Crater—dubbed the "Door to Hell" for its perpetual flames—they explored the uniqueness of the landscape and the stories it told. These experiences resonated deeply, portraying a country rich in cultural roots, despite its modern struggles.
Oft overlooked in discussions about Turkmenistan is the proud lineage of its nomadic past, where hospitality was a cornerstone of daily life. The group's guide, Max, pointed out that despite the political climate, the heart of Turkmen culture lies in the kindness shown to one another, especially to guests.
