The Tien-Shan (Celestial) Mountains occupy most of the small republic of Kyrgyzstans landmass. The upper reaches of these magnificent mountains themselves are swathed in snow and ice. Lower down glaciers abound. The mountains of Tien-Shan are almost as high as the Pamir, but the less rugged valleys make it a much greener and richer region agriculturally. They are considered to be some of the most beautiful places in Central Asia.

In the Tien-Shan there are hundreds of unclimbed summits at altitudes between 4000 m and 6200 m, and nobody has been there. Two of the most productive areas for first ascents of virgin peaks are Central Tien-Shan, Akshiirak Range, and Western Kokshaal-Too Range.

We are able to give all necessary information for those who wish to attempt an unexplored ascents in Tien-Shan mountains and provide any services for expedition (visa, permits of all kinds, transportation, mountaineering gear, food, guides, interpreters, porters, camp personnel, radio connection etc.). Contact us for a firm quotation and to discuss your plans for individual and group expeditions to this area. We are happy to provide experienced expedition leaders or to help organise your logistics.


The Tien Shan is one of the most beautifal and rugged areas in Central Asia but conditions can be harsh and rescue infrastructure patchy.

Virgin summits on snow, rock and mixed climbing provide almost unlimited scope for exploration
