Overview

This tour can be done between the main Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara so you will explore off the beaten treks of Uzbekistan while traveling from one city to the other rather than just traveling long distances. Sayyod Yurt Camp is a good starting point for short and medium length hikes. It is also a great place to unwind if you have seen too many mosques and madrassas in the Silk Road cities.

Our stay in the yurts was fantastic. The staff were friendly, spoke fantastic English and looked after us very well. The surrounding scenery is stunning and Sari took us on a beautiful hike. There’s a pool (very cold) and wifi. Highly recommend!!!

Had an excellent stay in Sayyod Yurt camp and Uleg Bek’s homestay in Uhum village. I have written an extensive review of the yurt camp separately. Suffice to say this will likely be the highlight of our two weeks in Uzbekistan. The company itself are very easy to deal with, are very responsive and so far have delivered on all their promises and our expectations. I really like that they reinvest money into the local economy and many of their employees live in the area where the tours take place. Tours are great value by UK standards and would recommend to others

A fantastic and highly recommend activity, that made a very welcome break away from staying in silk road cities. The yurt camp has a great tranquil vibe, the staff are friendly, we went on some great hikes of the surrounding mountains and our guide (Silbar) was fantastic, full of local knowledge. After 2 days at the yurt camp, we went on to stay a night in Uhum village including hiking in the surrounding area.

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.
