Safety first

Given an upredictable mountain environment there are two things that always make sense regardless of whether you hike alone or guided:
1) Record the track on your smartphone from the start so you could trace it back if things go south.
2) Carry an extra powerbank/cable on you all the time. Batteries do not last long when it is freezing.

We encourage every mountaineer to download local gps tracks (link below). Your fancy smartphone can actually save your life. Popular trails available on apps such as maps.me, OsmAnd, Strava, etc.

Azamat guide

Aza

Specialisation: advanced english-speaking mountain guide, local authentic food, trail-running junkie.

I am fluent in English and love mountains. So I woke up one morning and decided to do guiding for english-speaking public.
Got extensive knowledge of mountains around the region, some emergency situations skills (First aid sertificate from Red Crescent of Kazakhstan).

Specialisation: 4wd tours, extreme mountaineering, freeride, off-piste, ski touring.

I’m a professional mountain guide, experienced off-road driver, extreme backcountry snowboard enthusiast and the most reliable person ever met (as Aza says).
My english is not as good as Aza’s but i know enough. “We are almost there” usually covers most of the questions.
