2 Days Yurt Camp from Bukhara to Samarkand Self-Guided Tour

About this activity

Good to know

• Public transportation options are available nearby
• Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
• Suitable for all physical fitness levels
• Yurt camp opens from the beginning of March to mid of November
• It is possible to start the tour from Samarkand and finish in Bukhara
• Yurts have proper beds with a bit hard mattresses and pillows. An early spring and late fall the desert can get pretty cold at night, so travelers supplied with a pile of nice warm blankets. Inside the yurt there are some basic amenities like an electric wall lamp (although it is still recommended bringing a personal torch) and a rubbish bin.
• Please note: First part of the journey is a good road. In general it is a long and shaky ride to the Yurt Camp even so it is asphalt road but condition of the road is not good.
• When travelers visit Chashma Spring complex there is a small mosque if you want to enter both men and women should wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees. Avoid wearing tight, revealing, or transparent clothing. Women should cover their hair with a headscarf or shawl when they enter to holy places
• Overnight in Yurt Camp (2 people per yurt, shared bathroom facilities. For bookings made by one traveler, a private yurt will be provided on a single-occupancy basis.)
• If it is hot do not forget to put on sun sunscreen before going to visiting Chashma Spring complex (and just above the complex is Alexander’s Fort)
• Please note: this activity is not available from 20 November to 10 March, as the yurt camps are seasonal and weather conditions during this period are cold. As an alternative, instead of a stay at a yurt camp and Aydarkul Lake, we offer accommodation in a guesthouse in the Nurata Mountains, where guests can experience village life and enjoy the surrounding natural scenery.
