Ak-Sai Travel Yurt Camp

Stayed here in 2023 with a group of family and friends. The location is on a prime piece of land at Song Kul Lake. The travel company Ak-Sai has created great infrastructure for their client tours, with a large kitchen and services shed, and several yurts setup in a semi-circle nearby. The yurts are comfortable with proper beds and wood stove heaters, which are necessary in the cold evenings at this altitude (10–11k ft). There is limited space in the yurt, especially if you have 3 beds/mattresses, but still it’s not too cramped. The bathroom area is located in a separate mobile toilet block about 40-50 meters away from the yurts and can be a bit of a pain for people that may need to use the facilities in the night. The shower block is also adjoining and has limited space to hang clothes. Overall both are relatively clean and okay to use. Food was comforting and adequate. The breakfasts are typical all across Kyrgyzstan, so nothing different here. The company set up some horse games like Kok Boru and Horseback Wrestling for us during our stay, which was great. Overall it’s a decent camp for a few nights.
