All rooms have private facilities, however please bear in mind that plumbing can at times be dubious, even in the best hotels. If you have a problem, advise your group leader, or floor attendant.
Yurt camp - accommodation will be on a multi-share basis. The camps have traditionally decorated yurts, and come with four or six single beds in each (all bed linen, blankets and towels supplied). There is a communal ablution block with hand-washing basins, showers, and toilets in the camp. Meals are served in the on-site communal dining area. Note - no single supplement is possible.
Homestay/guesthouse - the two night homestay & guesthouse will be multishare. Homestays are where a local family will open their home providing a wonderful insight into the local culture. Note - no single supplement is possible for these 2 nights.
Hayat traditional homestay - Note that each house has 2-3 rooms of around 6sqm to 20sqm, which can accommodate 2-6 guests. There are no beds in these houses, and by tradition the local people sleep on special mattresses on the floor. The mattress is laid out before sleeping, and rolled up in the morning and laid up at one of the walls of the room. Bedding is provided for each guest as follows: mattress, bed sheets, blankets, pillows, towels. The toilet and shower are located outside in the yard. A garden with fruit trees is attached to each house. Food is prepared on firewood in special fireplaces, and bread (flat round national bread) is prepared in special earthenware stoves or tandyrs. Meals are prepared from traditional products by the hostess of the house. Fruits and vegetables are usually sourced from their own garden.
