Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the main town in the Köýtendag Mountains, which is likely to be Köýtendag. From there, take the M37 highway heading south. After approximately 20 kilometers, you will see a dirt road that turns east towards the mountain range. Follow this road for about 10 kilometers until you reach the base of Gory Katta-Chagal. There is a small parking area where you can leave your vehicle. Please ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain as the roads can be quite uneven.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Gory Katta-Chagal via public transportation, you will first need to take a minibus (known locally as a 'marshrutka') from Köýtendag to the nearest village near the mountains. The marshrutkas can be caught near the central market. The fare is usually around 5-10 TMT (Turkmen Manat) and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the village, you will need to arrange for a local taxi or ask a villager for directions to Gory Katta-Chagal, as public transport does not go directly to the mountain. Expect to pay around 20-30 TMT for the taxi ride to the mountain base.
-
Hiking
If you prefer to hike, you can start from the parking area at the base of Gory Katta-Chagal. The hike to the summit is approximately 4 kilometers and takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your pace. The trail is well-marked but can be steep in places. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear and bring water and snacks for the journey.
