I was born and raised in northern Kyrgyzstan, surrounded by majestic mountains that shaped my love for nature and adventure. It wasn’t until I started exploring the world that I truly realized how special my homeland is.

Today, I live in Switzerland, a country that has become my second home. I feel incredibly lucky to have two beautiful countries so close to my heart. Yet, no matter how much I love Switzerland, a part of me will always belong to Kyrgyzstan. I return at least four times a year, simply because I miss my homeland, its mountains, its people, and that special feeling of being home. Living between these two worlds has made me appreciate my roots even more and inspired me to share the beauty of Kyrgyzstan with others.

That’s how Ala Mount Travel was born - out of love for my country and a passion for connecting people through travel.

My name is Ulan Zhenishov. Born and raised at the foot of the mountains in a farming family, I grew up surrounded by nature, hard work, and the values of honesty and responsibility.

Having witnessed how deeply Kyrgyzstan’s landscapes inspire visitors, I developed a passion for sharing the beauty of my homeland with the world.

With a hands-on background in mechanics, machinery, and mountain travel, I bring practical expertise and a strong focus on safety, precision, and reliability to every expedition we organize.

My goal is simple: when you come to Kyrgyzstan, don’t just see its mountains - truly feel them.
