The Yurt is a bridge to times past, re-connecting us with our ancestors and our circular path of life. Our Yurts are heated and furnished with simple ground-beds, tables and light, and beautifully decorated with rugs, skins and nomadic art. They comfortably house up to 6 people, living nomadic style together.
Nearby, there is a cozy wooden lodge featuring a modern rustic kitchen, a bathroom with toilet and shower, and a spacious living room adorned with a large wooden dining table and a wood stove for those chilly, cozy evenings.
All of our water is sourced from the pristine mountain and is not only perfectly drinkable but also exceptionally refreshing. Additional beverages can be found in the fridge. Some local and some not.

Tour reviews
- S Stephanie27 May, 2024about providerThis is the most amazing experience that I really recommend. As soon as we arrived I felt cared for: emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This is a very special experience where you learn to find peace and control through archery and riding. This is a family business and you are welcomed into Vlad's home so warmly. Vladimir guides you gently when perhaps the arrow flies sweetly from the bow, or your horse teaches you how to communicate. It was an absolute privilege to experience this - every single moment was unforgetable. Food - sensational home cooked meals 3 times a day. Yurt - comfortable and gorgeous, never slept that well. Company was the best. Teaching is lead by an incredible team who nurture your learning with dedication and poise. If you are lucky enough to get the chance - book it!27 May, 2024
- J Jessica26 May, 2024about providerI recently had the pleasure of visiting this place, and it exceeded all my expectations once again. Nestled in the beautiful mountains, I find myself returning to this remarkable location repeatedly because there is always so much to learn from Vlad and his team, who provide the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and luxury. From the moment you arrive, you are moved to the stunning yurt accommodations, instantly transporting you to a bygone era. Trust me, you will never experience a better night’s sleep than in these yurts. Waking to birdsong and sunshine, and lulled to sleep under the stars… just take all my money now! My yurt was vibrantly furnished, combining comfort with an authentic feel and equipped with all the amenities I could need. The archery sessions were absolutely thrilling. Guided by Vlad, Panajot, and Zvezdomir, my friends and I learned to shoot a bow and arrow, starting from the ground and eventually progressing to horseback. This required time, repetition, and focus. We realized that this wasn't simply ‘doing archery’ ; rather, archery and horsemanship are art forms—a martial art. As a result, my friends and I had to slow down, which is nothing short of a miracle in today’s fast-paced world. This unique combination of skills was both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The instructors were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, making sure we felt comfortable and capable, regardless of our skill levels. One of the highlights of our experience was the food. Each meal was a culinary delight, prepared with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients by the amazing Tatiana and Lydia. Both women created nourishing and delicious dishes that catered to various dietary preferences within our group. Honestly, I have never eaten so well on any holiday before. EVER! I’m seriously experiencing withdrawals now that I’m back in the UK and left with my humble cooking skills. Breakfasts were hearty and energizing, lunches were light yet satisfying, and dinners were gourmet. The food was perfectly balanced in flavor and nutrition, ensuring we were well-fueled for the day's activities. Don’t hesitate. This extraordinary place is a must-visit for anyone looking to combine the thrill of archery with the unique experience of horseback riding, all while enjoying top accommodations and gourmet meals. Whether you're an experienced archer or a complete beginner, this experience offers something for everyone, making it an unforgettable getaway you will want to return to time and again. Just don’t tell too many people… this will become a secret experience you will want to keep close to your heart!26 May, 2024
