Kach Solo Travels in 2019: I'm in TURKMENISTAN πΉπ²
Hello guys, this is Kach! Just asked my team to upload this post for me because I'm in TURKMENISTAN πΉπ² where all social media channels are blocked and I don't have any VPN working and the internet is really slow here! It's one of the least visited countries in the world, they only have 9,000 tourists last year because getting a visa is really hard and expensive!
Finally did the land-border crossing from Uzbekistan and maybe one of the most difficult for me since I was hosted by a different tour operator in Uzbekistan, they could only drop me at the border gate and I have to walk to the border control office under 43 degrees Celsius heat! HAHA!πππ
To go from the Uzbekistan immigration office, I had to take 2 different car ride to the Turkmenistan border and unfortunately when I arrived, the officers were taking a break so I waited for almost 2 hours there with 60 Turkmen people crossing the border with me! I was the only tourist so everyone was talking to me and of course, 2 people standout and acted as a translator because not everyone speaks English.
The older women were feeding me and giving me drinks and they told me to squeeze with them on the car ride because everyone was rushing to get out and finish the immigration process!β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Anyway, will post more about Turkmenistan next week as I will be here for 6 days before I cross to Iran... I already took an overnight sleeper train for 15 hours to the capital of Ashgabat and will be going on daily tours including the popular Darvaza, the fire crater (check google!). hahaha!
Wish me the best and my team is uploading some photos from Uzbekistan and also my video in Mongolia! YAY! β€οΈ
