Guesthouse Shahboz

Top choice in Tajikistan


At the entrance to Sarytag village, this purpose-built little guesthouse is arguably Sarytag's most attractive option, with cosy rooms bedecked in traditional embroidered marriage cloths and sweeping views over the village's mountain horizon from the open-sided terrace. A sauna is a welcome feature and there's an outdoor Western-style loo.
