Lunch at the mall. In the afternoon drive to Darvasa (4hours). On the way stop by Yerbent village. Located about 180km north of Ashgabat, the village was founded in 19th century and now it became one of the biggest villages in Karakum desert. Proceed to Darvasa with stops at the Water and Mud Craters. The first one has neither fire nor a particularly pungent smell. Instead, it is partly filled with water, through which gas bubbles gently up. The second crater is a deep, circular hole; a metal barrier surrounds this somewhat smaller crater. There is no fire here, though it too offers a strong smell of gas. The settlement was once the site of a sulphur works, which closed in the 1980s. Prospecting for gas during the Soviet period has resulted in a curious series of sights around the area: several large, circular craters, one of which is aflame. The gas crater is roughly circular in plan, some 60m in diameter. Its floor crackles with hundreds of small fires, the flames fiercest around the edge. Dinner at the Gas Crater.

The word expression” yangi kala” is translated from Turkmen as “fire fortresses”. Indeed, the sheer cliffs of white, yellow, ocher, purple and red colors, fancily carved by winds and rains, are very similar to the stone castles from a fantasy. Once, the bottom of the canyons was the bottom of an ancient sea. In addition, today you can walk there, like in a natural park of sculptures made of compressed soil, sloughing in hands. For this reason, although you can climb the variegated hills, you cannot handhold the buttress. BBQ for dinner. Overnight in tents.
