Though the accommodation is not luxurious, it is cozy with plenty of blankets and provides a truly unique opportunity to experience the simple way of life of the nomads. Travelers will enjoy hiking and trekking in the surrounding hills, not to mention the activities available on the lake, including sailing, fishing and even swimming in the summer.
