I can't speak English very well, but they were so kind and helpful every time. I've never been like this place. We could stay at Yurt camp, have Uzbek natural food, hike the mountains.

I can't speak English very well, but they were so kind and helpful every time. I've never been like this place. We could stay at Yurt camp, have Uzbek natural food, hike the mountains. The mountain view was like a scene in a movie. It was silent and peaceful. Cows and goats, sheep are everywhere. I think dinner and lunch are better than restaurants in the city. They served many kinds of Uzbekistan food, like fried rice, soups, salad with fresh ingredients. (My favorite is chicken soup). Travel time was over 3 hours from Samarkand to Sayord, and there were about 3 kilometers off-load near the camp. It made us a little tired. However, the driver was very kind and gave us information about the old cities. His driving was safe and careful. If I can come to Uzbekistan again, I want to stay in this perfect place again.Charlotte_C

Zeer leuke ervaring! De wandeling was echt prachtig! We hadden ook een zeer goede gids die zeer goed Engels sprak. De overnachting in de yurt was een leuke ervaring, en zowel de lunch, ontbijt als diner waren zeer lekker!

After having had wonderful days at Sayyod Camp I want to review this experience . - It started perfectly with your very nice driver who picked us up in Bukhara. - the lunch in Nurota was very delicious, the location perfect, the sight interesting - the Camp is so nice, we loved our yurt, the place in the mountains, the pool (!) , it is kind of luxury mountain camping - the meals where very good and traditional and the people working there were all very kind and friendly. - both hiking tours were fantastic, the view, the nature, perfect after many days with all the Ms (mosquées, medreses,…), it was a wonderful break and the guide was also very nice! - the only thing we did not like was the trip to the lake. It was very time consuming ( ok, the villages on the way were interesting to see), and there was nothing but millions of huge grasshoppers, we could nor sit, walk nor swim and left after 3 minutes (trip of 2,5 hours) But all in all we totally enjoyed the stay in nature and the hiking tours and relaxing in the pool with mountain view!Calinixta
