Ask Seif on WhatsAppAbout Almaluu Yurt Camp
Almaluu is one of the longer-running south-shore camps and is set up for travellers who want a yurt without giving up the basics: wood stoves in the yurts, electric light and sockets, lockable wooden doors, solar-heated showers and a sauna. There is a garden, a shared lounge, free parking and a children's playground, and the hosts work in English, Russian and German — unusual, and useful if you are coming through on a German-language tour. Meals run to a daily continental breakfast plus Kyrgyz dishes in the restaurant yurt. Two things to plan around. First, the showers are solar-heated, so water temperature depends on when you use them — mid-afternoon is the reliable window. Second, and more important, there have been recent reports of maintenance problems — damp, fungus and tired bedding — which sit awkwardly with the camp's billing as a comfort stay, and the wi-fi, though advertised as free, can be unreliable. It may well have been put right since, but ask for recent photos before you commit. Yurt count and altitude aren't confirmed.
