In the heart of the village,
this place wins for its flower garden and
may soon be the first place to have a shower
(others have
banya
, public bath, for an extra
US$5 fee).

The old
building here has the most authentic sleep-
ing room but the worst bathroom, unless
you walk to their nearly-complete new
building.

¨Eating
There's one very basic shop (beneath Shezok
guesthouse) at the start of the lake. Other-
wise you'll be reliant on homestay (or Tur-
baza) meals and your own supplies.

Getting¨There¨&¨Away
The unpaved road isn't bad but there's no public
transport. A taxi from Sarvoda market costs
100TJS to 150TJS. Peak season weekends you
might hitch a ride from the M34 junction with
Dushanbe partygoers heading to the Turbaza.
Shared taxis for Dushanbe leave Sarytag a few
times weekly (from 70TJS), others are organised
most days in summer from Shezok guesthouse.
Sarvoda Сарвода
A few drab apartment blocks, factory ruins
and a big Soviet silver worker statue hidden
in the trees. That's about all there is of Sar-
voda. However, its minor roadside bazaar
is a handy place to seek rides to Margeb,
Iskander-Kul or the Alaudin Lakes. If you're
stuck overnight,
