The program starts and ends in Bishkek, which is nearby and makes logistics simple. Furthermore, the area boasts a wide variety of routes for different levels of training, which makes it very attractive for mountaineering. We will stay in a mountain hut that has quick access to all the mountaineering spots that we will visit. You will also have the chance to practice your ice technique and try yourself on ice routes of varying degrees of difficuly, from 6 to 20 pitches.
The incredible granite peaks and the shining ice of Ala Archa will not leave you indifferent.
For lovers of rock climbing, there are quite simple scenic ridges and a large selection of more complex rock routes. The nearest rocks for training are located 20 meters from the mountain hut.
Each day we will focus on a different spot and a different aspect, and we will have some chances to train and to practice. You can find a detailed day by day itinerary below.
All levels are welcome to join this mountaineering holiday. The average maximum ascents per day are about 1000m. Of course, you will need an excellent fitness level and experience trekking in the mountains.

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
