Excellent location, although you need to go either with a tour or rent a car (SUV recommended, although regular cars pass as well, you can find the cars for rent in Samarkand). Ruslan is still at the beginning of his business and keeps the atmosphere authentic (pure yurt camp + one service yurt where the meals are served + dry toilet). If you prefer location and atmosphere, you are at the right place. Our friends appreciated the dinner (additional payment) and evaluated osh (plov) as the best in Uzbekistan. Very cheerful hosts, we spent excellent nigh talking. Russian/Tajik/Uzbek is preferrable.

Amazing stay in a yurt in the Nurata mountains. Food was great, yurt comfie and warm. Beautiful location among the walnut and fruit trees.

Ruslan, who organized the stay for us, is very helpful in all possible aspects. He organized the transport from Bukhara and the next day to Samarkand for a more then competable price. We were welcomed at his family place in Nurota for a very delicious lunch. Then a driver took us to Alexander the Great’s fortress ruins for a walk, afterwards to their private place at the Aydar lake to swim. Later we arrived at Kyzylkum Desert where we were welcomed to the Yurt camp. We learned how the traditional bread is baked, had a camel ride, admired the landscape and sunset. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner with the family. At the camp fire we could admire the stars. Ruslan is perfectly caring for every aspect of your stay and makes it easy to be able to just enjoy and be fascinated. Everything is very personal and his aim is to meet everyones needs, the tourist ones as well as the host family, drivers, nature. Ruslan speaks very good English, with the family we used a mixture of English, some Russian words and the help of google translate :) A very excptional ecperience!

amazing food, friendly host and family, outstanding nature activities worth the price. A quiet place with comfortable beds so perfect for sleeping.

Nice breakfast. The other meals were fine as well. Guides take you into the mountains. The host plays music for you. Komil's place is actually two houses, one of Komil and one of his brother, and they both rent out a number of their rooms. There are two sanitary blocks with clean toilets and showers. Beds are hard, as most beds in Uzbekistan. The family is very modest, friendly and hospitable. Komil has been a teacher of music. His son is a driver and a mountain guide. The drive from Samarkand takes about 4 hours and costs around 250 dollars for a party of 10.
