- Our representative will meet you at the Turkmen/Uzbek border, “Shavat” (5h).
Drive to the Gas Crater. (6 hrs. and 30 min drive due to bad road conditions) The Crater is also called “The Door to Hell”. The area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 60 m and 20 m. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided to burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a few days, but the gas is still burning today. In the evening, watch the spectacular and fascinating view of the gas crater. BBQ dinner & overnight at Gas Crater - Picnic style BF at Gas Crater. Drive to the Turkmen/Uzbek border, Shavat (5h)
