Uzbekistan, Hotel in Muynaq ?
I have this Idea to be in Muynaq at sunset or sundawn.

But to get this going, I need a hotel due to the Registration law.

Does anyone know if there is a hotel in Muynaq??

My husband is now in Khiva, having passed through Muynaq and Nukus. He found accommodation quite scarce generally, and ended up spending the night in a sleeping bag in a garage in Nukus! Wouldn't bet on finding any accommodation in Muynaq, though camping is possible.

As far as I know in Uzbekistan you have to register daily in a hotel.
Otherwise you have a big problem.

I have lots of waypoints with hotels in the rest of Uz, but not in Muynaq.

I also would rather go and camp, but as far as I searched this forum, that can cause real trouble in Uzbekistan.

I think this is true only in theory. Actually I exited Uzbekistan 2 times, in 2010 and 2013, and nobody ever checked registrations.

If your problem is only 1 night in Muynaq, I think you can camp and not worry: 99% nobody will check your registration when you will leave the country, and even if they do, you will have registration papers from other cities.

OK fine

In another post here on the HUBB there was the message, that they check and a traveller got arrested after he came to a hotel and had no registration for the day before.
And than they throw him out and had a bann on visiting the country.

But if it is easy, I rather go camping.

The advice we received from Stantours was to book a certain amount of accommodation in advance and that they could then arrange whatever paperwork was necessary to allow us to camp in between. So there are evidently ways around it.

From Stantours:
Quote:
There is no need to book the accommodation beforehand. You can camp at Muynak by the south end of the Aral sea, as long as you check into a hotel within 3 days, the hotel in Kungrad will be aweful. If you want a 100% solution - book some hotels with us in advance and we will provide you documentation that will allow you to legally camp also further along the way.

That was our understanding, but we didn't actually put it to the test. Certainly the email we got seems to imply that you'll be fine as long as you register with a hotel within 3 days.

I haven't seen any Hotels in Muynak.

I was invited by a drunk guy to stay at his place, and it was a big mistake because the police came 1 hour later to kick me out... I finally found a creep trucker hostel somewhere on the side of the road 30-40 further

Ok, thanks for the Info.

At the fact that it might be the first night, I can try to camp there and go on the next day with a hotel ( in Khiva, Nukus or wherever.)

So I can keep the rule of registration within 3 days

Yes! You can found an old hotel or you can sleep in a free yurta in front of the stain ships.
Last year I asked to police and he showed me the hotel. Inside slept a man who was living there.
If you want more info ask me and I can send you the gps situation of the two places.

Thanks for all the help

last stupid question:

What is the better way to Muynaq?

The pink or the blue route?

pink one is shorter, and I can reach the Gas station in Muynaq without hassle, but if it is deep sand I don't want to go alone.

Roynie took the longer route from Kungrad to the South. No deep sand, and apparently better than the road from Beynau (Kazakhstan) to Kungrad, which was in appalling condition and gave the bike a real battering.

Take the blue one. Two years ago we rode the pink and got stuck in the mud on the ground of the dried-up lake Aral. We returned to the road to Kungrad.

Take care and good luck
Martin
