  Description

  We are a family-run guesthouse. All family members are involved in daily life and work.
  Some of us take care of the guesthouse and cooking, others help with hosting guests and daily tasks.
  
  We also organize horse riding tours to Son-Kul Lake, and family members help with horses, guiding, and logistics. Horses are an important part of our culture, and we are happy to share this experience.
  
  Sometimes we work with local people from the village, for example with horses or guest services. This helps support the local community and keeps everything authentic and sustainable.
  
  We work together as a team, and volunteers are treated as part of our family while staying with us.

  The village life is simple and quiet. We usually wake up early and follow a natural daily rhythm. We kindly ask volunteers to respect our home, family routines, and local traditions. Cleanliness, honesty, and mutual respect are very important to us.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  We have basic internet access, which is usually good for messaging, emails, and light online work. However, the connection may sometimes be slow or unstable, as we are in a mountain village. This place is best for digital nomads who do not need constant high-speed internet and who enjoy balancing work with nature and offline time. There is a quiet space in the house where you can work, read, or use a laptop. We follow a peaceful daily routine, which makes it easier to focus.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  We have space around our home where campers or vans can park for a short stay. The area is safe and quiet. Basic facilities can be discussed depending on the season and availability.
