CBT Homestays

Kyrgyzstan

The best digs in town are the 18 CBT-affiliated homestays scattered around the village. These aren’t always easy to find or centrally located, so call into the office to check out your options. Each guesthouse is numbered and descriptions are posted on the wall – pick one or let the coordinator choose one for you.

They try to rotate the guesthouses so everyone gets a chance, but we quite like #11 and #12. Guesthouses are split into two tiers (per person 350/550som) based on quality and facilities, and in some of the lower-level guesthouses it's possible to sleep in the garden for 400som per tent.
