KazakhstanI enjoyed my time in the Zur Housel because of the beautiful garden, river sound and mountain view.
Room: My room was nice with picturesque garden and mountain view. Queen size bed in my room was comfortable for me as I am petite. Bed can be shorter for people of 180 cm or taller people.
Common space:
Kitchen with everything needed for cooking and storing food was a good help.
Bathroom with laundry machine was useful. Keep in mind that there is no water in the bathroom from late midnight till morning.
Indoor and outdoor sitting areas were a great place to meet and talk with other travelers and have some food with mountain and garden view.
Internet: Bring some books and download movies before you come here. There is no internet and bad cell phone connection here in the Pamir mountains. So, be ready for that!
Zur House is outside of the Khorog city center but in a walkable distance (25-45 minutes). There are also taxi and local mini buses #1 go to the Khorog city center from the road near the house. Traveler can take mini bus #1 from Khorog city center and come back to the house. Just stop at the gas station.
There is a gas station and a small food shop (with everything needed for basic survival) near the house. So, I was fine as I came here for wild nature/not the city and crowd.
Hodi, his parents and local people were so cordial and friendly to help and talk. Local people invited me to their houses for cup of tea or lunch when I was hiking in the mountains. Some of them even tried to give me their own hiking shoes when they saw me wearing crocs.
I can recommend Zur House if you are looking for modest basic condition, silence, wild nature, digital detox and fresh air. Zur House reminded my grandmother’s village house. Very good childhood feelings. Village vibe. Relaxation from big city noise.
