Turkmenistan & Afghanistan | ITMB 2021

Afghanistan and Turkmenistan share a common heritage but have a very different history. ITMB publishes a separate map of Afghanistan and a map of Kabul.

A First-Ever Map of Turkmenistan

This map represents ITMB's first-ever map of Turkmenistan, a former part of the USSR that gained independence following the collapse of the Russian empire in 1990. Despite its authoritarian mindset rooted in Soviet traditions, Turkmenistan is open to travel and is gradually improving its facilities, making it an increasingly attractive destination.

Key Features of the Map

• Inset Map: Includes a very detailed inset map of Ashgabat, the capital city.
• Geographic Coverage: The map spans from the Caspian Sea to the Uzbek border and from Russia south to Iran and Afghanistan.
• Top Attractions: Highlights eight must-see attractions, including:
  • The World Heritage site of Konye
  • The ancient ruins of Nisa

Growing Demand for Regional Maps

Previously published as part of a regional map of the 'Stans', growing demand has justified Turkmenistan's own map. ITMB has also released:

• A separate map of Uzbekistan
• A three-country map of the other three 'Stans', all of which are showing strong signs of touristic development.
