Hotels near Taldy

The Khansar family was so welcoming and nice, just the best (both the parents and the children). I absolutely adored my stay there. I only stayed for one night, but would’ve loved to stay one more to enjoy the lake for a bit longer. I got there by car (rented from Samarkand) and it was very easy to find. The food was good, the traditional music at the campfire was better than expected and I even got the chance to see the village. The fact that is smaller than other camps makes the experience even more special.

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!

Everything was perfect, the place, the food and obviously the family the best!
