It is about a great experience guided by experts, within reach

A Trekking Club company was founded in 2005 by a group of nature-loving friends, under a guidance of a well-known alpinist Alexey Raspopov. We are officially registered as licensed company - tour operator (state license with no0001061 dated 12 July 2005, license in a new electronic format)

Initially conceived as a mountaineering/trekking  project founded by a kazak climber Alex Raspopov, we have grown into a stable business providing hiking, camping, adventure and culture tourism services in Kazakhstan. As a team of passionate travelers and professional athletes, we enjoy tackling unconventional challenges and we do it well as evidenced by international awards: one of the camps from a private Trekking Club camp/lodge network became a finalist of Top 100 World's Sustainable Destinations (by Green Destinations, ITB Berlin). We are often involved in organizing large sports events and have our own kids' club. 

Our story began about 20 years ago, when it became clear to us, a group of friends, that the most valuable experience is gained not only in sport competitions, but in a shared experience during events. Events are different, of course, but for us it mostly means travel.
Each of our team has something to be proud of, we are all sportsmen: someone summited eight-thousanders, someone became a champion in rock climbing, someone did aerobatics or led a scout camp. In fact, we can do everything: survive in outer space, cook in the center of a tornado, entertain on sheer cliffs, drive any vehicle, take care of nature and people. And we know how to share it.
Alexey, Asya, Maria, Denis, Sayat, Dima, Ainur and our other colleagues are important not only as independent professionals, but also as part of a huge joint experience. We managed to achieve a dream and turn our lifelong passion into a business that - we are sure - benefits our beautiful vast country.

Since we are confident that a responsible market cannot develop outside of a responsible society, then we make great efforts and apply all our experience to help creating an active, environment friendly community in our country:

- our eco-lodges in Turgen and Touyuk-Su gorges are always open to other people upholding principles of sustainable tourism. We love to meet and exchange experiences with those who share our ideals. We are pleased to present our achievements in the implementation of eco-technologies - and happy to have a feedback.

- we love travelling and know a lot about the nature of our native land. We are happy to share this information with anyone interested in. Our maps, pictures and absolutely free GUIDE BOOK are our contribution to the culture of the eco-community.

Our daily practice is aimed at creating of such a tourist product that meets the needs of the present without harming them in the future.
