We are delighted to announce that in partnership with Dilovar’s Homestay in Saratoq (Saritag) we have secured a 10-year lease for a campsite in the valley west of Saratoq.  

This year we have added sit-down toilets and a kitchenette – alongside the picnic benches and the fire-pit installed in previous years.

Introducing: Kitchen for Campers (KFC)!  As part of securing the land and in partnership with Dilovar’s Homestay in Saratoq we are able to offer catering services to make your camping experience that bit more comfortable!  Any combination of breakfast, lunch and dinner options are available and will be delivered to your campsite at a time of your choosing – additional options include fresh bread, eggs and homemade dairy products from the village.  Contact Dilovar (+992905032202 – Tajik and Russian) or our office (info@archataj.com) for details on menu and prices.

Don’t forget that the Archa Foundation can kit you out with all your equipment rental needs here in Dushanbe!  For details, click here.

We’re so pleased to partner in a project where we have been able to ensure that the land is protected for the next 10 years from any form of development and where the local communities have the potential to benefit from yours, and our, love of camping and the outdoors!

RATES [2023 Season]:

All rates include the National Park fee.  For those who have booked ahead we will provide a photo that you can show at the park barrier (near Iskandarkul) and we will arrange the payment of your national park fees as part of your campsite payment listed below. Payment can be made direct to Archa through Alif on any pay terminal in Tajikistan, direct to Dilovar in Saratoq or at the Archa office in Dushanbe.

For residents (including non-Tajiks with OVIR Registration): 30TJS/person/night (kids under 7: FREE)

For tourists: 50TJS/person/night (kids under 7: FREE)

Alternatively to reserve the whole site exclusively for your group it’s 400TJS/night + 7TJS/night/person over 7 years old (17TJS/night/person for tourists)

These fees enable us to lease and conserve the land, maintain the sites, keep them clean, provide the amenities and in doing so provide employment for members of the local mountain communities.
