Mountain Guide
Mountains are an important part of my life. All my interests in life are somehow connected with mountains. I have been working with people in the mountains since 2013. From the very beginning as a mountaineering and downhill skiing instructor, and since 2020 as a licensed mountain guide. I work on mountaineering, freeride and ski tourism programs. I live in Kyrgyzstan, but I work in different mountain regions, depending on the season.

I spent 10 days in the Ala Archa Mountains in Kyrgyzstan with Maksim, to summarise, it was incredible. Maksim is a very professional guide, he tailored the trip to my wants and needs, and made sure I got everything I wanted from the trip. I felt very safe climbing with Maksim and we did some amazing summits together. Would highly recommend doing this trip if you’re looking at it! Thanks again Maksim
