2.Yurt Camp Tour with Night from Bukhara

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 35 reviews · 2 days · from $215

Travel privately from Bukhara to Aydarkul Lake in an air-conditioned vehicle, stopping at Navai, Sarmish, and Nurota. Swim by the lake, ride a camel, watch the sunset, eat dinner by a campfire, and sleep in a yurt before returning to Bukhara or continuing to Samarkand.

“Other than the transportation, it was not a good experience, to say the least. There was nothing to do there in that freezing cold dezert, the facilities were rather poor and the food was mediocre at best. There was actually no guidance at all, as soon as we got to our yurt we were left alone. The yurt was shabby and depressing. We were so happy and relieved when it all came to an end on the following day!”
