Baytur Kymyz Resort

Kyrgyzstan


If you've ever wanted to try the Kyrgyz pastime of drinking kymys (fermented horse milk) all day, this health resort built from repurposed shipping containers is the place to try. There are also more mainstream delights such as a sauna, billiards tables. and table tennis. Dorms don't include showers, so it may be worth springing for the high-end rooms.

Rates include all meals and kymys treatments, but wi-fi costs extra. Set off the main highway, look for the small sign at a dirt road about 1.5km south of the Lepota Cafe. If you reach the Gazprom petro station, turn back.
