Surrounded by beautiful peaks and the spectacular glacier and gorge where the park got its name, Ala Archa is a special place. The area is not only full of natural wonder. It also has a fascinating and mysterious history that is well worth researching. A history that involves myths with no explanation in sight.
Throughout this trip, you will get ample opportunity to enjoy some thrilling descents. You will also get to spend a great deal of time admiring the beautiful surroundings as well because we will be doing a lot of hiking. Hence making this trip as much about exploration as it is about splitboarding down the slopes.
Due to the vastness of the Ala Archa national park, there is a huge selection of wonderful spots to choose from. That variety also makes this trip open to people of all splitboarding levels. So if you can only splitboard at an intermediate level, there are plenty of options for you. And if you are an expert, you too can enjoy several challenging spots as well.
The Ala Archa national park, and glacier, is an amazing thing to see. But it is an even better place to splitboard through! So if you want to dedicate 6 days to an adventure you will never forget, send me a request, and come and experience Ala Archa for yourself.
I also offer a 6 day splitboarding tour through the Suusamyr valley in the Tian Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan as well.

I was born in what is now Bishkek, the Capital City of Kyrgyz Republic (used to be Frunze, the Capital of Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic) and live there ever since.
I started guiding professionally in 2004. I guide groups and individuals in technical and high altitude climbing, ski-tours, backcountry skiing, rock-climbing, ice climbing. I can also provide training facilities and organize trekking programs.
My main priorities in guiding are client safety and expedition success and therefore, my professional motto is “Never climb with strangers”.
In 2011, I finished my training with the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide School. The school is supported by Mammut and the Swiss and British Mountain Guide Associations and follows the IFMGA standards. Upon completion of the course and passing necessary tests I was qualified as a Mountain Guide. I am also qualified in mountain rescue and first aid by Mountaineering Instructor School in Kyrgyzstan (2012) and a member of the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide Association (KMGA) since the Autumn of 2009 where I serve as an instructor and examiner for the National Mountain Guide courses.
In my 13 years of guiding, I have worked all over Tien-Shan and Pamir in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and China and East Sayan and Lake Baikal areas in Russia. I have arranged several ski tour and backcountry skiing programs in the Ala Archa national park, Suusamyr valley, Kyrghyz Ala Too, Chong Kemin gorge, Kumtor glacier, and Terskey Ala Too.
In 2009-2016 I worked as a high altitude guide at the Lenin Peak (7134 m), Khan Tengri Peak (7010 m), Pobeda Peak (7439 m), and Muztag Ata Peak (7546 m). As a mountaineering expert, I also have participated in 6 expeditions.
Presently I have over 100 ascents of different difficulty. The most significant of them are: Pobeda peak (7439 m) 1 ascent; Lenin peak (7134 m) 13 ascents; Muztag Ata (7546 m) 1 ascent; Khan Tengri (7010 m) 1 ascent; Korona peak 1st tower ED2 Smirnov route, winter conditions; Free Korea peak ED1 George Lowe route, winter conditions; Bachachekey peak 4 routes ED1 Kusmenko, Shwab, Polik, Ilyshenko; Ak-Too peak TD route, first ascent, winter conditions; Tarasova(Slovenia) TD route, winter conditions; Simagina peak TD+ route, winter conditions.
My sport climbing level: 7a-7b on sight, 7c-8a red point.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested to come and discover the mountains of my region.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
