“Very rewarding and pleasant. Great driver, ikrom. Lovely kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the ride with the mountain guide. The meals are excellent. Nice frame. Only downside, in yurts there are many locusts.... We couldn't sleep because they were getting into the sheets or jumping on us.Auto-translated”

Review of a 3-day Uzbekistan yurt tour from Bukhara to Samarkand, with Lake Aydarkul, Nuratau hikes, village life, meals, and practical tips.

“We highly recommend this tour – the yurt camp was in a beautiful, mountain-surrounded location, with a pool filled with spring water and fantastic food. However, the main thing that made our stay truly unforgettable was our amazing guide, Sardor. Sardor not only led us on a breathtaking hike in the mountains and gave us a village tour, but also ensured that our stay at the camp was of outstanding quality. A huge thank you to him and the whole team working here – so hospitable, friendly, and open!”
