Göktepe Horse farm is located only 40 km from Ashgabat. An excursion there isn’t just a trip — it’s a dive into Turkmenistan’s living history.
Akhal-Teke Horses: Known as the “golden horses” for their shimmering coats, these legendary steeds are prized for endurance, speed, and beauty. They helped build empires and survive the harsh desert—get up close, ride, and hear tales from trainers who keep this ancient legacy alive.
Nomadic Flavors: Experience the soul of Turkmen cooking. Learn to bake bread in a traditional tamdyr oven, dograma — a hearty meat and bread stew — and prepare pilaf that’s been passed down through generations of nomads. It’s not just food, it’s survival, culture, and hospitality on a plate.
Göresh Wrestling: This isn’t your average sport. Göresh is a centuries-old wrestling tradition that sharpens strength, skill, and respect. Watch local wrestlers battle it out in vibrant, colorful costumes — a spectacle that brings history roaring to life.
End your day with breathtaking views of the Kopetdag mountains, soaking in the vastness that shaped the nomadic lifestyle.
