From Bukhara or Samarkand 2 Day Aydarkul Lake and Yurt Camp Tour

I highly recommend!

We got the best guide Ibrohim, cute, funny and helpful! Speaks extremely good Russian and English. Made our stay in the camp very funny! I didn't want to do a Camel ride first, but he convinced me and I absolutely don't have any regrets! Camels looked healthy and well cared of. Camp is super comfortable and has clean and modern showers and toilets. But don't forget warm clothes, it's cold at night. Food was amazing, one of the best plovs we've tried in Uzbekistan and we tried a lot. Also very nice drivers, we felt like in a good hands.

4-Day Horseback Riding Tour in the Nuratau Mountains

Riding adventures in the Nuratau mountains

After a smooth transfer from Bukhara to Asraf we were warmly welcomed by Aslon's host family. After a delicious lunch in the beautiful garden our riding adventure started. With the well-groomed, attentive and sure-footed horses we explored the great landscape for 2 days. Our English-speaking guides Hotamboy and his brother supervised us during the rides and told us a lot about nature, but also about life and culture in Uzbekistan. We enjoyed freshly prepared delicious meals on the farm and relaxed in the beautifully landscaped garden. Aslons guesthouse is an absolute recommendation for all nature lovers and riders!
