Check-Ins

this place is now 50 soles for the cheapest room with a private bathroom I did not stay as it was not worth that much money, was very run down, dirty and noisy

Craft beer joint with 10 craft beers from the area on tap and 150 beers in cans/bottles from around the world. Put down the Escudo and get over here!

The hamburgers are pretty good (they have veggie burgers as well) and they also have tablas.

Restaurant with huge truck stop. We stopped at the back, very far from the road and the trucks.

Good meal at the little restaurant : 20 Q / plate (chicken or beef / rice / verdura).

Toilets
Shower
Tv where there are hammocks.
Possibility to refill water at the fausset before leaving.

25 Q / night / vehicule.

Super nice family at the restaurant running the area.

Perfect for our first stop after the border, going to the bank, buy tigo cards for the phone and go to the market.

Arrivals at the market are on Friday !

The place is closed for renovations --- maybe open in summer again.

Well if you don't have a vaccination card, they have to vaccinate you here against MMR. Apparently this is due to the recent influx of refugees. We didn't want to because the nurse didn't even have a badge. Great. But they wouldn't stamp us in unless without it. This applies to travelers from all countries.

There are showers here (pipe in wall) Men's bathroom is flipping stinky filthy but husband and I showered in woman's, which was just fine.

Camping in the hills with a beautiful view over the valley. We came from the kazarman pass towards jalal-abad. This was the first track off the main road coming from the pass that wasn’t fenced off or leading to a house/yurt/wagon. Take the track leading up to the trees in a u-bend in the road. You can stay between the trees for shelter but it’s not very leveled. We drove higher up to find a more leveled spot (towards the left). You might need 4x4 (we used low gear at some point). Very quiet and well off the road. A man on horse passed us in the morning. No water.

There’s no bridge, the river crossing was quite high end of september, so probably not feasible for most of the year. We got water inside (defender 110). You need high clearance because of the rocks. The road is also pretty horrible so I’d strongly advise against the short cut between Lenin and Charbak/Ogon-Talaa. 4x4 and high clearance only if you still decide to go.

Nice spot with a view on the lake . Quiet at night . We saw so much garbage on the little trail we thought it is a shame that people do not respect those places anymore . We, overlander, need to keep those quiet spots clean so they don't forbid overnight parking . Anyway it is a good flat spot and we had a wonderful drink and dinner at sunset .

$5. great spot in Crater lake Park. tents only. looks like they have had actual toilets but they were closed and replaced with port-a-johns.

Free dump station. Two lanes. No potable water.

As described before, beautiful views of the lake from the campground. Possibility to camp next to the lake or in the bigger parkings. Just a few other rigs when we were here. Two pit-toilet buildings. Poor AT&T reception. No bears.

Camping has good facilites. Very clean toilet and shower. 100ap pP. Park is 300ap and 3h tour with truck is 795ap.

As described before, beautiful scenery conviniently located to visit the Exit Glacier. Some trucks came at dusk and started shooting their guns while playing loud music (it was Friday night). After a few hours they left and we had a good night of sleep. No need of 4wd if you stay close to the entrance. No AT&T reception.

Very nice place to spent a few nights. The water was completely calm. Toilets were closed at night during off-season (October). We did not surf but was great anyways. Good spot to meet other overlanders. Gate closes at 6pm, after that you'll need to convince the night guard to open it for you.

we arrived around 18.00 and she told us it would be 20000 pesos for two adults and a small camper. the wifi was not working there was no electricity supply available and no hot water for the showers. we left.

We walked around town and decided to have lunch here.
Gilbert was very welcoming and whilst we sat reading the menu, with a beer, he brought chorizo which was cooking on the nearby BBQ.
After lunch and whilst finishing another beer Gilbert brought us a small dish of ceviche to accompany our drink.
Nice touch to an enjoyable lunch.

A little off the normal route but worth the stay. Owners just purchased it in October and have really done a nice job of turning this place around . Pull thru sights and lots of green area!! $36.00 a night

ADMIN NOTE: this post edited because of profanity.
Sorry to say that but this guy is an a-hole.
I brang to him my alternator (because he didn't want to remove it himself). I came for a noisy bearing.
He opened it broke 3 bolt and after he said i can't do anything you need to find a hydraulic press or a new parts.
He said that he know someone that sell american parts but didn't want to call him for asking, didn't want to tell me where i can find a hydraulic press.
So i came with a working but noisy alternator and got out with a alternator that i cannot re install because he broke 3 bolt and didn't want to replace them neither.
Such the worst service i ever had. He were just not giving a single F... even if i knew that i had no truck to move.

Avons passé 3 jours en tour privé dans le Salar et Sud Lipez . Tout était parfait et surtout notre guide Roberto , à notre écoute , très gentil . Les repas sont très bons et copieux . L'hôtel de sel parfait ( douche chaude pour 10 bob ). Par contre , le refuge de la 2eme nuit , très limite ( très froid , 2 Wc , 1 douche MAIS pas d'eau au robinet , le matin pas d'électricité dans la chambre ) alors qu'il y avait 22 personnes ce soir là . Sommes rentrés enchantés de ces 3 jours .

wow !!! amazing spot ! so glad to stop here for the night. really quiet. I heard the noise of the waves and the birds. we were 2 campers. the parking is really large so you can easily find a spot.
I checked in late but the sunrise was so wonderful !!
public toilets available and an outside shower

Drove up here for the view. This doesn’t belong on iOverlander. While there are no signs of no overnight, this is a popular viewing of Vancouver and is VERY busy all night.

If you are looking just for a place to shelter from the cold or the rain it is ok as the sheets are clean, but the toilets are quite filthy and there is only one shower which you have to ask to get it open and conected and takes an hour before it is hot. They didn’t turn on the heater not even during the night And of course no Wi Fi. But at least the sheets were clean, so we slept ok. They asked for 40 000 for the room, tried to bargain but it didn’t work

Nice free campground near the lake, vert quiet, surround with wilderness. some hiking trail, and great spot to kayak.
Sure you need high clearance to go, hard for regular car or big RV. no problem with our 4x4 van.

Embassy of Turkmenistan
Opens at 9.00. We were here on a Friday.
For Visa issues, enter at the back of the embassy.
You may park at the parking in the front.
Security guard present.

the best lomito arabe we had since a long time!!

At praia de quatro ilhas we found a nice parking, so the Data of another spot Must be wrong

Sign states: No sleeping overnight in any vehicle

Price is now 20bs pp, showers and bathrooms not so clean, we were able to park next to the large covered concrete floored shelter. High vehicles may have to lift electrical wires on property, we are 2.4 meters and didn’t have to move any.

Gravel pull off on side of beach - we stayed for 2 (non-consecutive) nights and had no issues. Beautiful spot with great views. Verizon & AT&T worked well here.
