of Ashgabat, approximately 1km past the
new city bus station. A taxi should cost
around 4M. Buses go there from the corner
of Magtymguly şayoli and 1958 köçesi (1958
is a block east of Turkmenbashi şayoli).
2 ¨Activities
Akhal-Teke horses are Turkmenistan's
pride and joy, and many visitors come
to Turkmenistan specifically to ride one.
Highly recommended is the Alaja¨Farm
( % 993 6581 1111, 993 1227 6720; Geok-Dere; per
hour 80M) , run by Katya Kolestnikova and
located in Geok-Dere (also called Nizhny
Chuli). This is a professional stable, where
the horses are well cared for and well fed
(not always the case elsewhere). It's normal
to ride for four hours in one day, well worth
the price for the beautiful golden stallions
and some wonderful riding in the canyons
around Geok-Dere. Contact Katya in ad-
vance, or just turn up as the farm operates
seven days a week. Ask your guide to take
you, or hire a taxi. Take the Geok-Depe road
out of Ashgabat and turn left at the sign for
Geok-Dere. Continue through the village
and Alaja is at the end on the right.
