About Nohur

High in the Kopetdag range near the Iranian border, Nohur is a village apart — famous for its distinctive traditions, its carved wooden gravestones crowned with mountain-goat horns, and a way of life shaped by the peaks.

A short walk leads to the Kyrk Molla hill and the Nohur waterfall, and the cool mountain air makes it a refreshing contrast to the desert below.
