TURKMENISTAN Night Train | Turkmenabat to Ashgabat Travel
This is what taking a night train is like in Turkmenistan! After crossing the border from Uzbekistan, we took the 27 Manat night train from Turkmenabat to the capital city, Ashgabat.
At the current black market exchange rates in September 2018, 19 Manat to the $US, the train cost $1.40 for a bed in a sleeper compartment for 6 people.
This was the beginning of an incredible journey across Turkmenistan. We only had a 5 day transit visa as were travelling independently, so unfortunately only got a brief glimpse of this fascinating country.
