Oxus Adventure Yurt Camp
South Coast of Aydarkul Lake

Oxus Adventure is a small, comfortable recreation area that includes a yurt camp. It’s situated on the southern shore of Lake Aydarkul, in a remote location far from large cities and even small villages. The camp is reached by a 300km drive from Tashkent or a 200km drive from Samarkand, followed by a 30km drive on a dirt road.

Within the recreation area are 10 wooden cottages designed for two people, and 10 four-person yurts for those who want to experience the charms of this traditional nomadic dwelling. There is also a cozy restaurant with a great view of the lake.

Guests can enjoy the local landscape, take camel rides or horse rides, or travel around the lake on jet skis, boats, or catamarans. Hunting and fishing are available at certain times of year, for an additional fee. In the evening, you can watch the sunset and then sit around the campfire under the endless starry sky, listening to the folk melodies of the local akyn (folk singer).

Oxus Adventure is a fantastic option for relaxing in the wild, with amazing desert flora and fauna, the shimmering Lake Aydarkul, views of the Nurata Mountains in the distance, clean air, and tranquillity that can’t be found in busy cities.

The price includes three meals per day, as well as a 10-minute camel ride.
