No Joke, You Can Actually Go To Hell!


Have you ever visit Turkmenistan? If you haven't, you absolutely should! One of the most popular tourist attraction in Turkmenistan is the Darvaza Gas Crater, also known locally as the "Door to Hell" or ''Gates of Hell"!  It is actually a natural gas field collapsed into an underground cavern located in Derweze, Turkmenistan. Geologists set it on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, and it is thought to have been burning continuously since 1971. The diameter of the crater is 69 meters (226 ft) and its depth is 30 meters (98 ft).


Since 2009, 50,000 tourists have been visited the site. The gas crater has a total area of 5,350 má’¾ and if you love camping, the surrounding area is also popular for wild desert camping.


The gas crater is located near the village of Derweze, also known as Darvaza. It is in the middle of the Karakum Desert, about 260 kilometers (160 mi) north of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. The gas reserve found here is one of the largest in the world. The name "Door to Hell" was given to the field by the locals, referring to the fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the large crater, which has a diameter of 70 meters (230 ft). The hot spots range over an area with a width of 60 meters (200 ft) and to a depth of about 20 meters (66 ft).
Interesting isn't it? But hey, if you really gonna visit the hell one day, just make sure don't get too close and never bring the kids with you!
