There are three guest houses in the small village of Asraf on the slopes of the Nurata mountains, far from Uzbekistan’s big cities. The residents of the village have maintained their rural way of life and are open to extending their hospitality to guests who have a passion for getting off the beaten track and discovering what Uzbekistan is really about.

All the houses in Asraf are built of wood and clay, including Yahshigul Guesthouse, and you will be welcomed with warm hospitality. There is a couch platform you can use as a dining table or spread out mattresses when you want to sleep. You can choose to sleep on the couch in the bedroom or under the stars on a warm night, listening to trickling stream pass by.

Nurata Nature Reserve is nearby and your stay in Asraf village will give you the chance to experience the culture of the Nurata mountains. You can try the local cuisine, hike through the mountains and gaze over Aydarkul Lake. During your stay, you might get to see a game of Kupkari, join in with a festival or celebrate a wedding and see the bride and groom in their colourful outfits. A stay here will be truly unforgettable.
