Turkmenistan is divided into five velayats (provinces): Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Mary — each with its own unique character, landscapes, and cultural heritage. From the Caspian shores of Balkan velayat to the ancient ruins of Mary (Merv), from the Karakum Desert plains of Dashoguz to the lush Amu Darya riverbanks of Lebap, every region offers a distinct and enriching travel experience through the diverse heart of Central Asia.
