Ak-Sai Travel has operated expeditions in the Pamir and the Tien-Shan since 1998, supporting climbers from dozens of countries. We run the base camps, hold the permits, handle the transport, and coordinate the mountain logistics, so the system behind your climb is managed by one experienced local team.
We run the base and high-altitude camps on the mountain, staffed every season, so you arrive to a camp that is already set up and can put your energy into acclimatization, recovery, and the summit push.
We operate our own mountain rescue team and carry out rescue operations in the mountains, working alongside the Ministry of Emergency Situations (except Pobeda Peak).
Permits, transport, and camp operations are handled by one local team, with people at our Bishkek office and on location at the camps, so support is close by through the expedition.
Our mountain guides are trained toward established mountaineering standards, including national and Soviet-era classifications, and hold professional mountaineering categories. They work these peaks season after season.
Our expedition team in Kyrgyzstan has supported climbers on Pamir and other Tien Shan summits for more than two decades.
