Sary Chelek Homestay is in the small village of Arkyt in Kyrgyzstan. The village sits at the entrance to the protected Sary-Chelek Biosphere Reserve, home to an extraordinary, hidden mountain lake.

The homestay provides a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself into authentic Kyrgyz life. One of the friendly local hosts will welcome you into their home like a friend, creating an experience you’ll always remember and the chance to gain a true sense of their traditional culture.

Houses have several bedrooms and shared bathrooms to comfortably accommodate both individual and small group stays.

Your hosts will prepare and serve meals to be shared together, offering the chance to experience the daily routine and customs of the family. Sharing freshly-baked bread or a green tea together is the most wonderful way to break down any language barriers and begin to understand one another’s way of life.

The area is home to forests full of walnut-trees, as well as several rare and protected species of animals, birds and plants. Kyrgyz locals will be happy to help you explore local walks, as well as Sary-Chelek itself, and the high ridges, sheer cliffs and green slopes that surround this beautiful, reflective lake.
