KHAN TENGRI TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Lenin Peak is one of the most popular peaks among beginner climbers-athletes, and those who want to try their hand at high-altitude mountaineering. Almost always, the Snow Leopard program begins at Lenin Peak. He enjoys special love among experienced climbers and skiers. Another plus is the fact that you can reach the Base Camp under Lenin Peak by car, and in Osh, there is an international airport, so you can fly directly.

The classic ascent route does not have steep rock and ice sections. And the descent from the top of the seven-thousander skiing does not leave indifferent even the most extreme athlete. But! Do not forget, the peak of Lenin is seven thousand meters high, and the apparent accessibility of the mountain hides difficulties and risks associated with height. Successful ascent requires a responsible approach to the organisation of the expedition. To take part in this expedition, you need an appropriate level of physical condition, basic mountaineering skills, preliminary high-altitude experience and, of course, a desire to reach the top!

The main difficulties encountered by mountain climbers climbing Lenin Peak are: altitude, low temperatures, weather and, of course, ice cracks. Of course, such ascent is best to do under the guidance of a professional guide. You can always join the ascent in a group with a guide, furthermore, this option is financially the most optimal.

  • Climb the most popular 7000-meter peak
  • Take part in ascension by non-technical routes suitable for those who climb a 7000 m peak for the first time
  • Enjoy the variety of Pamir mountain scenery
  • Feel high-level of support (experienced guides, porters and rescue team)
