Happy Nomads Yurts & Hostel — Hotel in Karakol City

Happy Nomad Yurt was our very first experience staying in a traditional yurt, and it was such a memorable one! We booked online after seeing their great reviews, and they truly lived up to the praise.

This is a small, family-run place, beautifully maintained by the owner, his wife, and his mother. We stayed in a yurt-style room with 5 beds and an attached washroom. The room was clean, nicely decorated, and to our surprise, the washroom even had a Muslim shower—it was neat and tidy, which I really appreciated.

We arrived at night while it was raining, tired from continuous travel. The owner welcomed us warmly, and when we didn’t have the energy to go out for dinner, he kindly arranged hot water and opened the mess sitting area so we could enjoy our instant noodles. It was late, and they had already left for the night, but we just closed up after finishing and headed back to our room.

The next morning, they served a simple but fresh homemade breakfast—fried eggs, bread, butter, and muffins. Not a big variety, but everything was delicious and felt like home. The greenery around the property makes it a peaceful, relaxing spot.

We only stayed for one night before continuing our travels, so we didn’t get to explore much, but I can say it’s a cute, calm, and welcoming place to stay if you’re looking for a traditional...
