This basic guest house is in the small township of Verhniy Hayat in the beautiful Nurata Mountains. Rural and modest, you’ll get a real taste of local life with a stay at Khayot Guesthouse, which is set in a neighbourhood with ancient trees, bright meadows and clear rivers that run through the mountains to small waterfalls. A stay here allows you to make the most of nature in Uzbekistan and the hiking is incredible, giving you the chance to discover big waterfalls and soak up the stunning panoramic views from mountain tops. You can also horse ride through the countryside or take a trip to Aydarkul Lake, which is within easy reach.

Modern day life seems a million miles away in this remote corner of the world and you can spend time living the life of a local in a traditional Uzbek village. Your stay might coincide with a festival, local wedding and you can be part of the community and take part in folk games, horse racing or trying the local cuisine. The guest house is very basic but you will enjoy an authentic welcome and homemade dishes served in the small dining room. After unforgettable days, return to Khayot Guesthouse and your hosts will make you feel at home.
