Artuch Alpine Camp
Артуч
A simple mountain guesthouse converted from a Soviet-era climbing camp, and the starting point for hikes to Kulikalon and Alauddin lakes.
Situated in a valley at about 2,200 m, this former Soviet-era climbing camp now operates as a basic mountain guesthouse and campsite offering lodging, meals, horse rental and guide services. It is the gateway to classic routes including Kulikalon Lake, Bibidzhoni Lake and Alauddin Lake. The drive from Panjakent or Ayni takes about 3 hours, with the final stretch on dirt road, so a 4x4 is recommended. Book ahead during the busy summer hiking season.
