This trip will give you a chance to explore a vast area in a wonderful country. Starting in the city of Bishkek, we will take a 150 kilometre trip to our splitboarding base within the Suusamyr valley. Once there, you will get an opportunity to settle into your hotel, where you can relax and get a good night’s sleep. After that, the expedition will begin.
Day 2 of the trip will focus on some light splitboarding and getting you properly acclimatized. The reason being is the Suusamyr valley is surrounded by mountains. In fact, there are 2 ranges around the valley, the Kyrgyz Ala-Too and the Suusamayr-Too mountains. Both of these ranges, which are part of the majestic Tian Shan mountain range are stupendous to look at. They are also the source of some of the great descents you will get to enjoy during this trip!
You will have over 100 kilometres of area to pick and choose from during the remaining days of the trip. And I will guide you to the best spots based on your skill level and your ambitions.
If you want to splitboard in a beautiful, exciting, and unique place, the Suusamyr valley is perfect. To join me, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.
Would you like to do some climbing in the Tian Shan mountains? If so, I can also guide you to the top of the Khan Tengri mountain on this 3 week expedition.

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.
