How to find our Homestays
The most comfortable, but not the cheapest means of transport to the homestays in the Nuratau Mountains is a taxi. Negotiate the price with the driver before you leave and make sure he knows where you want to go. You can save costs by sharing the taxi on parts of the route with other passengers. If you ask in advance, we can also arrange private transport to our homestays.
From Tashkent to the Nuratau Mountain villages And Back
From Tashkent Olmazor (old Sobir Rahimov) metro and bus station to Yangiqishloq (often called by its old name Forish) there is no direct public bus connection from Tashkent to Yangiqishloq, so we advise you to use one of the following options:
Option A:
A shared taxi/minibus from Tashkent to Jizzakh costs about 30.000 to 35.000 UZS/person. From the Olmachi bus/taxi rank in Jizzakh, at the main Samarkand-Tashkent highway, take a town shared taxi to the Gorod bus station in Jizzakh (price 2000-3000 UZS/person) from where minibuses and shared taxis leave for Forish. At the Gorod bus/taxi rank take a minibus or a shared taxi to Yangiqishloq 7.000 to 9.000 UBS/person.
Option B:
The direct shared taxi from Tashkent to Yangiqishloq costs about 35.000 to 40.000 UZS/person (4 people sharing). There are only a few shared taxis to Yangiqishloq every day so you should be in Olmozor bus station latest at 10 AM. All Yangiqishloq drivers know our Tourist Information Centre so you will be brought straight to our office.
You can also negotiate with the driver to drop you directly at the village of your destination.
If you plan to take Option B, please let us know to reserve a seat for you in a shared taxi in advance.
