Unique Experience - Staying at Sayyod Yurt Camp was something truly different. I really enjoyed the evening around the fire, listening to local stories and watching the stars. The camp has a very calm atmosphere, and it felt far away from the busy city life. It was a short trip, but left me with great memories.

Family Tour – Yurt Stay and Hiking in the Nurata Mountains - Our family had an amazing experience at Sayyod Yurt Camp during our trip to Uzbekistan. Coming from the United States, we were looking for something authentic, and this place exceeded our expectations. The yurts were comfortable, and the food was homemade and delicious. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. What we loved most was the peaceful atmosphere – surrounded by beautiful mountains and fresh air, it was the perfect place to relax as a family. There were plenty of activities to enjoy, from short hikes to spending time with the animals around the camp. Our kids especially loved seeing the horses. It truly felt like a home away from home. We highly recommend Sayyod Yurt Camp to anyone looking for a family-friendly and authentic cultural experience in Uzbekistan.

Great experience! Only thing missing there was more time. - We booked a two day mountain hiking and yurt stay, and loved every moment! We enjoyed the peaceful camp site with our wonderful yurt and refreshing pool. Food was delicious and made vegetarian upon request. The crew was responding to all our questions both prior to arrival and at the stay. The hike and guide was great and we loved the experience so much!

The Highlight of my trip to Uzbekistan - Out of the beaten path experience, it has been the highlight of my trip to Uzbekistan. Immerse in nature, everything has been perfect, the treks, the driver, the camping, the ladies cooking, the mountain guide and ultimately the Nuratau Travel team which accommodated all my requests. Big up to everyone !

A lovely trip with fab driver - A great experience in the quiet foothills. Idyllic setting and the staff could not have been more helpful. Pool was fab. The hike however could not be described as gentle! Ikrum was a fab driver. Funny and informative. A great 2 days

Hinking and guest house - Amazing travel company. They have very good drivers and guides wich speaks English fluently. Also they respond very fast to messages and are flexible if you want to make changes. The guest house they proposed were very friendly, specially the second one that is our best memories in Uzbekistan.

Must do experience from Samarkand to Bukhara - A wonderful experience, from the minute our private driver picked us up at our hotel (he drove like a champ and played super cool music all the way). When we arrived we were greeted by our guide Sardon, who was warm, knowledgable and a real hiking pro. Loved spending time wandering around the yurt camp, playing archery and ping pong, meeting some friendly cows, cuddling with Bingo the yurt dog, hiking in the fragrant mountains, and simply chilling outside listening to the river trickle by. The fireplace chats with other guests were also a highlight. The next day, we left towards Bukhara with a stop at the Aydar Lake (which we could have probably done without - not mega special). However, there was also a lovely stop at a little garden restaurant in the Nurata Mountains village for plov before ending the trip right at the door of our next hotel. Extremely practical and beautiful way to go from Samarkand to Bukhara with a tranquil parenthesis in between the two mosque-laden cities.

A unique and refreshing experience - We had a wonderful time at the Yurt Camp and hike. It was a refreshing change from being in the city. The camp is truly a unique experience with freshly made food on our arrival and activities such as archery, table tennis and a swimming pool(!). We were made to feel welcome and taken care of at all times. Sardor was a wonderful and friendly guide, and his cousin joined who was training to also be a guide. You could tell Sardor really enjoys his work. They gave us all the time we needed on the hike and we were able to spend extra time at the peak to really enjoy the views. The food was tasty, varied and plentiful! At night Sardor prepared a fire for us and his cousin kindly played some guitar for us. They really put the effort in to make our stay a memorable experience. The next say we transferred to Bukhara via the Lake. We are so glad we took the time out to experience the mountains and also transfer this way, rather than go straight from Samarkand to Bukhara. (All the transport to the camp from Samarkand and from the camp to Bukhara was handled smoothly and professionally by Nuratau Travel)

Very rewarding - 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.
