Hot summer on cold Elbrus! Many thanks to the na-goru team for amazing holidays. It was a professional team of very high-qualified guides and constant mental and physical work that brought us to the summit! Special thanks goes to tough and fun bearded guides, to attentive and sensible cook who didn’t let me, a raw vegan, lose my weight in the mountains, to Alexey and Anastasia, very patient to unexperienced alpinist. Wish you great success, good health, patience and more wealthy clients)))

I have never experienced anything like this… I have never seen the stars so close… na-goru.ru team, you are the best. Thank you so much. You did help me bring my dreams into reality. It was hard. Strong wind. Altitude illness. But we summited Elbrus. My dad and I. Dad decided to start the ascent from the second base camp, 3700m. Andrey(photograph), thank you so much for leading him to the peak. I started the ascent from 5100 and because I was only 17, Andrey, the head guide, was two times more responsible…

Andrey, I have never got to the summit without you. Thank you for your total support and faith in me. You were the one who always told me that I would summit Elbrus. Thank you for talking to me on the way to the summit when it was important to fight against sleep. The only one picture I remember is your alpine gaiters: one red and another blue. Thank you for those emotions at the top and for amazing race down the mountain. Guys, you are the best. That was the trip that totally changed my mind and the concept of real beauty. I will never forget these emotions. I definitely recommend this team. You will never regret choosing them.

Today, it’s a year since I summited the western peak of magnificent Mount Elbrus. Seems it’s been both much and little time since that day, but Elbrus and that amazing adventure is still with me. I don’t exaggerate that there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t remember those feeling at the top. Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to leave a review for all this time. I thought there wouldn’t be enough words to express all my gratitude to the na-goru.ru team and describe the feelings on the way to…

Today, it’s a year since I summited the western peak of magnificent Mount Elbrus. Seems it’s been both much and little time since that day, but Elbrus and that amazing adventure is still with me. I don’t exaggerate that there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t remember those feeling at the top. Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to leave a review for all this time. I thought there wouldn’t be enough words to express all my gratitude to the na-goru.ru team and describe the feelings on the way to the cherished altitude of 5642m. Finally I got my head together. I thank with all my heart our guides, Alexey and Andrey! For their professionalism, passion, patience and careful attention. I doubted myself and my physical ability during all the trip because I’m small and very far from an athlete. And the climbing was tough for each group member. The weather on the summit day wasn’t very good as well. But we did it despite the bad weather, low visibility, fatigue, pain, doubts, fear, we summited Elbrus, all of us. That’s all because of Alexey and Andrey, their faith in us. It’s a shame that we didn’t see the Caucasus Mountains from the top of Elbrus but that’s a good reason to come back again. Special thanks goes to Ksenia for the tastiest dishes, attention and care. And for delicious b-day cake! Thanks to Margarita for nice atmosphere of communication, optimism and valuable advice, that made my way to the summit much easier. Thank you guys for everything: hospitality, new experience, your professionalism. I can’t stop advising your team, miss you very much and will come back again! To all people who doubt whether to go or not: if you hear the call of the Mountains, get mental and physically prepared and definitely answer the call. Come here and summit Elbrus with the team of real professionals and amazing people.

Well, it was a very spiritual trip. Luckily, the weather was really nice, we did summit Elbrus. But the most lucky thing is the na-goru.ru team and the head guide – Alexey Pshenichnikov. So interesting person. And how amazing he plays the guitar… Thanks to Yulia for bringing the guitar to the second base camp… Smile remembering everything. Thank you.

I had chosen this company spontaneously, that’s why I was a bit wary if it was the right choice. All the worries started to wane right at the beginning trouble of the trip. The accommodation was much better than I had expected, very good alpine equipment and detailed instructions how to deal with that, unforgettable ice trainings at the Mont Blanc altitude. And the ascent itself… When our guides led us to the summit despite the bad weather conditions. I’m so happy I’ve chosen the na-goru.ru team.…

I don’t want to single any of you out because when you are together, you become three times stronger. Thank you so much for making my anniversary one of the best in my life. Good luck in your difficult business and more grateful clients.

Amazing impressions of climbing Elbrus. We climbed the summit a month ago, in April, but I still catch myself daydreaming about that trip… Mountains are never compared to the sea and river trips. It’s another world that you definitely should experience. It seems very hard (indeed hard) to do that, but it’s possible with the na-goru.ru team. Thanks to all of you! Especially to Andrey and Rita! I would have had many troubles without you. But instead you helped me realize my dreams… Thanks to Ksenia…

I hope all of us will meet in the mountains again. I definitely recommend you to climb Elbrus with the na-goru.ru team. You will enjoy everything!

Hi everyone… Nobody likes reading long reviews… So I’ll be short. I took part in the ascent of Elbrus with the group No.105 21-29/04/2018. I want to express my gratitude to the na-goru.ru team for their professionalism. We summited Elbrus only because of you. My next goal is winter expedition to K2 with Andrey Nagorny in 2026

Despite the bad weather conditions all members of the group No.233 did their best. We didn’t reach the summit but that’s not a defeat. Many thanks to Alexey for the tour and my congratulations on your successful run. Thanks to Ksenia for care and very tasty food. Thanks to guide Margarita for the basics of climbing and behaving in the mountains and for your care about us. Thanks to Andrey(photograph) for basic acclimatization, support and help during the climbing, for good advice and the plaster)))…

And thank you for good instructions and good atmosphere in the hut. This team will make everything for you to feel comfortable. Next mountains only with the na-goru.ru team!

My husband and I summited Elbrus almost a year ago (7/07/2017). I’m so happy that I accidentally got to na-goru.ru website and decided to trust Andrey and Alexey. Originally, we had planned the climbing with another tour company but they didn’t help foreign people with getting visa (my husband is a foreigner). I called Alexey, he was very attentive and immediately helped us to deal with all problems. I realized that I could trust to this person and got even more confident when we got to the summit.…

My husband and I summited Elbrus almost a year ago (7/07/2017). I’m so happy that I accidentally got to na-goru.ru website and decided to trust Andrey and Alexey. Originally, we had planned the climbing with another tour company but they didn’t help foreign people with getting visa (my husband is a foreigner). I called Alexey, he was very attentive and immediately helped us to deal with all problems. I realized that I could trust to this person and got even more confident when we got to the summit. The weather conditions were very bad on the Summit day. The heavy snowstorm turned everything into milk. Wind, blizzard. And the altitude illness that made us crawling instead of walking. Any wrong step, the smallest lack of organization of our guides could have brought to trouble result. I’m so happy that I had found these guys… Their professionalism and complete knowledge of the weather in the mountains and other things does impress. We summited Elbrus and got back safe and sound only due to them. I will never forget how Andrey was getting my husband down the mountain almost carrying him. He suffered from illness altitude. Smile remembering how Alexey was rubbing my frosted cheeks :) Climbing Elbrus is not a fun trip and you should reasonably evaluate your abilities. It’s a great challenge for your body. But if you have decided to go, you won’t regret. And you won’t regret that you have chosen the na-goru.ru team. Also, you will find new friends, get much fun and see amazing nature. Many thanks to Ksenia and Alexey. There’s a rare chance to meet so kind and careful people. Thanks to your group. You are the best, guys!
