Ask Seif on WhatsAppAbout Eco Yurt Camp Arashan
Altyn-Arashan means golden spa, and the hot springs are the reason people make the rough climb up here from Karakol. This camp puts them on site for 250 som and backs them with the most developed set-up in the valley: yurts ranging from simple to genuinely comfortable, some with private bathrooms and showers, comfortable beds with warm blankets and traditional Kyrgyz furnishings, a restaurant serving Kyrgyz cooking and a bar. It is also the only camp here open year-round, though June to September is when the valley is realistically enjoyable. The rates run 3,350 som a night with breakfast, lunch at 700 and dinner at 850, horse riding at 3,000 a day plus the same again for a guide. Note one inconsistency: a 'from US$20 per night' rate is also quoted, which does not reconcile with 3,350 som, so confirm the rate when you book. Getting there is the other thing to plan: about 30 km from Karakol, roughly two hours by 4x4 up a genuinely rough track, usually in a UAZ, or a long walk if you prefer. Transfers are arranged from the operator's Karakol office. Expect no phone signal and no wi-fi once you are in the valley. Yurt count, bed numbers and altitude aren't confirmed.
