A small sign off the main road leads to this walled homestay at the end of the first lane southwest of the bridge. It's set amid a small garden with a waterwheel and has a traditional Pamiri interior, complete with pillared platforms and timbered sky light. The host no longer works as a guide but has knowledge to share.
A sleeping block (with hot water available) within the garden wall for visitors who want a little more privacy.
