Hi! My name is Rustam, and I’m happy to welcome you to our cozy yurt camp “Arista” in the heart of Karakol. We created this place with love so that guests can not only spend the night, but truly feel the spirit of traditional nomadic life — with all the comforts 😊 I enjoy meeting new people, sharing local traditions, and recommending the best spots in our region — from hidden mountain gems to the tastiest little local cafes. In my free time, I love playing the komuz (a traditional Kyrgyz instrument) and cooking national dishes. Welcome!!! It’s warm, soulful, and always with a cup of hot tea waiting for you 🍵
