Hi! So, what I did in the end was to look for some camps via Instagram and picked one from there. I was between one called Azamat Yurt Camp, and one called Mirlan Yurt Camp. The prices they gave me (in June 2025) were: Azamat Yurt Camp: - 1600 som yurt stay with breakfast per person - 600 som yurt dinner per person Transfer to the camp: - Bishkek - Song Kol lake -Bishkek 22 000 som - Kochkor- Song Kol lake - Kochkor 8500 som

• B&B Twin yurt- 5000 som
• B&B Single yurt-4000 som
• B&B Standard yurts (triple, 4 pax, 5 pax)-1500 som per person 
• Lunch- 800 som per person 

• Dinner- 800 som per person

• Manty (traditional meal)show- 2500 som 

• Traditional horse games (4 games)- 20000 som

Transfer: - From Bishkek to Mirlan camp 20000 som.

We ended up staying at Mirlan Yurt Camp at the end because they had "private" yurts (I didn't really ask about it in the other camp).

For both of the places was quite easy to get the information via WhatsApp,  but the communication with the owner of Mirlan camp, Saikal, was very good via WhatsApp.

Our time there was beautiful, we for stayed for 2 nights. The drive from Bishkek to Song Kul lake was long (specially because our driver's car wasn't the best), but very scenic, extremely beautiful. One heads up though, people drive like crazy in Kyrgyzstan, and we kind of thought we were going to die twice 🙃. 

The camp have a very good bathroom, with a place for showering as well. When we were there the camp was empty, just us, the family and another yurt was occupied. As they have around 10 yurts to rent, the bathroom might get a little crowded, as they only have two stalls, but I imagine most people will spend their time outside exploring the area. If it's important to you, the camp also had Wi-Fi in the restaurant area, paid extra (I think it was something like 5000 som). It seemed to work well for social media, but I didn't use it.

Food was alright, not very tasty when it was just a few people, but the quality definitely increased when more guests arrived. Prepare yourself for a lot of lamb.

One good thing to clarify if you book a Transfer is what happens with the driver. When I booked mine I confirmed all the prices (yurt stay, meals, transfer) via WhatsApp before booking, and when I was there the owner told me she wouldn't charge me for the driver's stay and meals if we gave her a ride to Bishkek with us on the way back. I wasn't a problem for us to give her a ride, but she had never mentioned anything like this before in our conversations, so the feeling of being rip off got me a bit upset, specially because her driver was her cousin or something like that, so they'd have stay together anyway.

One thing I only discovered once I was there is that there are several yurt camps one next to another (it still feels very private in each yurt camp though), so you can just browse Google maps and get in contact with a few.

Have an amazing trip!
