Ask Seif on WhatsAppAbout Yurt Camp Azamat at Song-Köl
Azamat is a family camp on the Kyzart side of Song-Köl, run by Venera with her mother doing the cooking, and it's among the most warmly regarded stays on the lake. Ten to twelve yurts of varying sizes, decorated in national style, with electricity, stoves that pump out heat overnight, thick warm blankets, western-style toilets, hand basins and showers. The beds are firm — some will find them hard — but the bedding and pillows are comfortable, and the food is excellent, served as breakfast and dinner. Horse riding is the main activity at 350 som an hour, with three-hour treks available and beginners welcome, plus horse games and a short climb to a viewpoint over the lake. The practical standout is the season: May through November is a notably long window — the longest of any Song-Köl camp — which makes this the option if your dates fall outside the usual June-to-September band, though expect real cold at either end at 3,000 m. A 4x4 is recommended for the approach, and Bishkek is about five hours away. There's no wi-fi or phone signal, and the nightly rate is best confirmed directly when you book.
