Tour to the gas crater Darvaza
Welcome to make a two-day tour to the mysterious crater Darvaza, which has not ceased to burn for the past 45 years. The tour begins with a meeting on the border of Shavat - Dashoguz. The nearest cities of Uzbekistan: Khiva and Nukus.
In 1971 geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided to burn the gas. Geologists had hoped the fire would go out in a few days but it has been burning ever since. Locals have named the cavern The Gate to Hell, and the sight of the crater at night indeed gives a somewhat spooky feel.
