20 years ago (to say accurately - in April 1998) Elena Kalashnikova and Svetlana Fedina finally moved to Kyrgyzstan after 10 years of exploring and mountaineering all significant peaks of this beautiful country. They decided to create a travel company that will make a difference. Since their favorite mountains in Kyrgyzstan are located in Ak-Sai gorge (near the capital, Bishkek), the company was named "Ak-Sai Travel"'. Today it has grown to become Kyrgyzstan's leading travel specialist. Elena Kalashnikova is still "hands-on" and spends most of the summertime in mountains - at Khan Tengri and Lenin Peak base camps.
Olga is a tour operating manager and has been working in Ak-Sai Travel Company for 6 years. She is responsible for Lenin Peak expeditions.
