We had a lovely yurt for 2 nights. I had booked for 1 person by mistake and they quickly changed the yurt to accommodate for 2. Nice warm fire in the evening and lovely food. Really lovely family, organised horse riding and beautiful location...

Compared to other yurts where we stayed, this one was greatly “furnished”, for example they have coal heating during the night. The food was delicious, we were there two nights and always got different food served. I mention this because Song Kul...

Lovely location next to the lake. The yurts were great and the fires at night kept us warm, because even in July, the temperature drops a lot at night. They organised horse riding for us too. The food was nice too. à

Dear guests ! We will do our best to make your stay in our guest house unforgettable. We are sure that it will be a vacation that will occupy your heart for many years. You will share fun, beautiful days spent with your loved ones and remember the pleasant vacation in your heart. Experience unforgettable, unique feelings and emotions experienced only in our country and in our guest house "Zalkar Boz Uy !" You will get to know our traditions from time immemorial in our guest house "Gray House". We share our culture with you. And we want to show our hospitality. Our guest house is located in the famous high-mountain lake Son-kul. Here you can ride horses in the valley and hike in the mountains, where you will find petroglyphs and medicinal herbs such as: mountain ash, barberry, edelweiss. The area around the lake is very picturesque, especially in summer. Son-Kul is surrounded by low hills, behind which you can see pointed peaks and snows of the Central Tien Shan ranges. Being here you can see all seasons during one day. Also Son-Kul is very interesting because in summer you can see in vivid life nomadic life and spend a couple of days away from civilization. The lake is amazing in its beauty. The azure color of the water attracts not only tourists, but also locals. Son-Kul is surrounded by green meadows where herds of sheep and horses graze in summer.
I am the owner of yurt camp Bayakunov Zalkarbek Zalkar guest house. It is very pleasant and unforgettable to provide various services to the tourists who come to us. Each tourist who comes to us has different characteristics and also different human qualities in my heart. Since our family is very interesting and enjoyable to work with tourists, we opened the guest house "Zalkar Boz Uy" in Son-Kul pasture with beautiful clean air. Throughout the summer, we entertain guests from different countries with national dishes and introduce them to various equestrian games, at the same time we organize horseback tours and promote our wonderful Kyrgyz land to the whole world. We also introduce the beautiful and unique nature of my beloved homeland of Kyrgyzstan and exchange experiences to learn about the culture of foreigners. In this way, we provide locals with at least a few jobs and make them happy. We are waiting and receiving you with deep respect!
