About the camp
Welcome to Sputnik Navoi
Forty yurts stand in the open steppe at Yangigazgan, about 50 km from Nurata and a short drive from Lake Aydarkul. They are built the old way — wood, thick felt and poles — so they stay cool in summer and warm in winter, and they are laid with hand-made carpets and shirdaks by craftsmen from the area.
Evenings belong to the campfire and the songs of the local akyn. There are three tandoors for bread, somsa and lamb, a dining yurt, proper showers and toilets, and electricity throughout. Above it, a sky you will not see from any city.
- 40 yurts Carpets and shirdaks by local craftsmen
- Kyzylkum desert Open steppe in every direction
- Near Aydarkul Yangigazgan, about 50 km from Nurata
- Kazakh akyn Live singing at the evening campfire
