Askar and his family were very welcoming and generous hosts. He even came to pick us up with one of his little ones AND made us a meal for when we arrived. We had the most comfortable nights sleep so far during our travels in the bed they provided and he is clearly very proud of his family.
I LOVED the lake that is literally a 5 minutes walk away. It's a little way from the city itself, but the travel is frequent and reliable.
