In five of the lush green river valleys, in the villages Eski Forish, Asraf, Uhum, Upper Uhum, Hayat and Sentyabten families converted parts of their homes into rural homestays. All the buildings were designed according to the tradition and constructed out of local rocks. They are located in big gardens under old walnut and mulberry trees. All houses have essential facilities such as bedrooms furnished with kurpacha mattresses, blankets and pillows, showers, flush toilets and good drinking water.
