Turkmenistan has reopened and we’re ready to take you there. [View this email in your browser]( Join Our Trip to Turkmenistan After years of being closed to the world, Turkmenistan has just reopened its borders—and this fall, [we’re ready to take you there](. We’ve been dreaming of visiting the [Gates of Hell]( as long as Atlas Obscura has existed—it was even featured in our [very first podcast episode]( Join our intrepid group as we explore mysterious Soviet relics, take in the surreal Pyongyang-meets-Las Vegas architecture of the capital, and share stories over cups of tea with the residents of a country that sees just a few thousand travelers each year (when it’s possible to visit at all). Not to mention camping beneath the fiery Gates of Hell while it's still burning. [LEARN MORE]( Trip highlights include: - The towering white-marble structures of Ashgabat - Otherworldly landscapes and geological wonders - The stunningly preserved ruins of ancient Merv - Rarely visited hamlets in the country’s Wild West - The breathtaking Yangykala Canyon, which rivals the Grand Canyon Past departures have sold out within a couple of days and we’ve just added a few more!
