Sayoda Travel is a licensed inbound tour operator based in Ashgabat. We prepare the letter of invitation and visa support, arrange guides, transport and hotels, and run the routes ourselves — the Darvaza gas crater, ancient Merv, Nisa, Kunya-Urgench and the Yangykala canyon. Tours across Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan continue the same trip when you want more of Central Asia.
Everything a trip to Turkmenistan needs, arranged in one place:
We prepare the letter of invitation, submit it, and walk you through collecting the visa at an embassy or on arrival in Ashgabat.
Group departures on fixed dates and private trips on yours, with a local guide who speaks your language.
Cars and drivers for the whole route, hotels in Ashgabat, Mary and Dashoguz, and desert camp nights at Darvaza.
Tell us the dates, the interests and the pace — we build the itinerary around them, neighbouring countries included.
A Turkmen tourist visa is not issued without a letter of invitation, and only a licensed local operator can apply for one. We prepare it ourselves: you send a passport copy and the form, the rest is our job.
Darvaza, the border zones and several sites need paperwork arranged in advance. We plan it into the itinerary instead of leaving you to discover it at a checkpoint.
Our guides are based in Turkmenistan, not flown in for the season. They know which road is open after rain, when the crater looks best and where to eat in Mary.
Tell us your dates and what you want to see. We reply with a route and a price per person.
