A trip to the Dinosaur Plateau northeast of Koytendag in Lebap velayat allowed me to do some geotagging of the 160-million-year-old dinosaur tracks plus the Kyrk Gyz cave a couple of kilometers west of them. Take a look!

unfortunately an access to this Plateau is not available for all. Thank you.

Marych, it does require border permission from the State Border Service since the plateau is in the border zone with Uzbekistan. That can take a few days to obtain, and so you are correct, it is effectively inaccessible to most tourists. It is also time-consuming to get there: a 17-hour train ride from Ashgabat to Atamyrat, 3 hours by car to Koyten obasy, and another hour from there to the foot of the plateau. Alternatively you can fly to Turkmenabat (about one hour from Ashgabat by air), then go by car (about seven or eight hours overland) if the Lebap government tourism agency is willing to provide a car and guide.
