Homestay Umar

Tajikistan


This homestay in the rural village of Vershab offers simple accommodation with outside washroom and toilet facilities. It's located on the northern side of the road, 250m from the village shrine. Hot water for washing can be arranged. As Mr Umar is likely to be surprised by visitors in this remote valley, it's worth ringing ahead to book a meal (US$5 for lunch or supper).
