How to get there?HOW TO FIND OUR GUESTHOUSES The most comfortable, but not the cheapest means of transport to the guesthouses 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 transport from your destination to our guesthouses.
