Nomadic Lifestyle Experience and Stargazing
Located in the Navoi Region of Uzbekistan, Nurata offers a unique experience with the nomadic lifestyle of Central Asian pastoralists. As you traverse the desert, you may suddenly encounter “yurts,” mobile dwellings that are still inhabited by local people in the vicinity.
As there is almost no bright artificial lighting around, the night sky is exceptionally beautiful. Take advantage of the quiet night to stargaze and enjoy a romantic evening.
How about experiencing the unique nomadic lifestyle of Central Asia for a day?
Activities in Nurata
Camel Riding Experience in the Desert
Camels are indispensable for the nomadic lifestyle in mobile dwellings called “yurts.”
Nomadic communities dismantle their dwellings with the changing seasons and transport them on camels.
You can enjoy a camel riding experience around the yurts.
Overnight Stay in a Yurt
Yurts are crafted from materials like wood and camel hair. The interiors are adorned with carpets made by nomads, creating a surprisingly stylish ambiance.
Staying in a yurt is a valuable experience. In the evening, you can enjoy a Kazakh ethnic dinner and music while stargazing under the night sky.
Stroll in Aydarkul
Venture further into the desert from the yurt, and suddenly, a turquoise view emerges in the middle of the sands. This is Aydarkul, a lake located near the border of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
In the past, it was an artificial lake formed as a result of the overflow of water from surrounding dams.
In recent years, domestic travel has become popular in Uzbekistan, and swimming in Aydarkul has gained popularity.
You might consider having a leisurely lunch by the second largest lake in Uzbekistan.
