We stayed at a homestay in Koktokay for skiing.

When the ski season arrived, we went to Koktokay Ski Resort again. This time, we chose to stay in a homestay, and it was this choice that led us to meet the most enthusiastic homestay owner in Koktokay. Their warm hospitality made each of us feel the warmth of home. The owner not only provided us with a comfortable accommodation environment but also often shared with us stories from their life in the homestay and recommended lesser-known attractions nearby, ensuring that our days beyond skiing were never dull.✌️ - 🏠The homestay is a wooden structure building, giving a sense of returning to nature. Our room was equipped with a projector, allowing us to enjoy the fun of watching movies while enjoying nature. The room we booked also had a viewing window, so we could see the starry sky of Koktokay without leaving the room.🌃 - 🍵The homestay also has a special warm room where you can burn a stove and drink tea. In the cold winter, a few friends gathered around the stove, sipping hot tea, chatting, feeling the passage of time, and enjoying the rare moments of tranquility during the trip. - 🎿The ski resort we went to - Koktokay International Ski Resort: It is about 5 km away from the homestay. It is the earliest ski resort to open and the latest to close in Asia. The snow season lasts about 240 days, with a maximum altitude of 3,100 meters and an altitude difference of 1,350 meters.
