Айдаркуль необычный отдых
May 2021
Были с семьей в юрточном лагере на озере Айдаркуль в мае 2021 года. Отдых получился отличный. Озеро уже теплое, можно купаться. Берег песчаный, вода солоноватая, напоминает море)), правда не прозрачная. В этом месте никого не был, кроме нашей семьи. Комары были на озере, но не кусали, потому что мы были там днем. В самом лагере нет комаров, но мы на всякий случай запаслись эфирными маслами))). Природа дикая, много живности черепах, ящериц …. Детям очень понравилось, младшему 5 лет особенно, сказал, что готов здесь жить))). Старшим детям тоже понравилось, меня это сильно удивило, ведь нет ни интернета, ни связи. Билайн, умс, узмобайл там пропадает и не берет, юсел иногда цепляет. Не пожалели, что проехали 470 километров из Ташкента. Для тех, кто не связывает отдых с обязательным городским городским строительством, это в самый раз. Это место где Вас никто не достанет, нет СМС, звонков и пищалок телеграмма)))) Душ, санузел, теплая вода суда все есть, правда как оказалось воду привозят в цистернах, что еще больше напоминает, что это дикая пустыня. Раньше часто отдыхали в зонах отдыха в горах, Айдаркуль понравился не меньше. Мы поехали туда на своей машине по навигатору, выехали из Ташкента в 17.00 там были в 24.00, спасибо ребятам из Айдаркуль понравился не меньше. Мы поехали туда на своей машине по навигатору, выехали из Ташкента в 17.00 там были в 24.00, спасибо ребятам из Мараканд Трэвел, были на связи и курировали наш маршрут до конца, с такой поддержкой даже в пустыне не страшно))) 100%.
