At first sight all the camps look alike. Still here are the company’s 15 advantages that can help you decide between the Pamir Expeditions company and the rest of tour operators.
-
Company’s camps feature peculiarly decorated national yurts with heaters. When snowstorm rages outside, the warmth and comfort of the yurts attract all the campers, for here inside they can warm themselves and have a cup of hot tea or cold beer (every man to his taste).
-
Russian bath. For a mountaineer a bath is something he or she could dream of. After a week in the mountains, where you lack for the hygiene of a normal life, and cold weather is a common occurrence, nothing can be better than to delight in a real hot bath. Now such a bath is available in Camp 1 too, which is a unique phenomenon on the peak and which excites envy in our neighbors.
-
Tandyr (national oven for baking bread and meat pies). No one is indifferent to a tantalizing aroma of hot, freshly baked bread. Experienced mountaineers know that at high altitudes availability of fresh bread can scarcely be overestimated.
-
Have you ever seen in the mountain camp toilets with a toilet tank? Well, here, at our Base Camp, we have them.
-
If there is a wish, as well as time, you can play volleyball at the campsite. A green volleyball pitch at the background of unfriendly snowy summit looks really spectacular. At the same time in yurts you can find facilities for more placid games: chess, cards, backgammon, and darts.
-
For package tour travelers our Base Camp provides such a service as meals at high altitudes. It means that for ascent you can take from the camp storeroom as much food as you find appropriate.
-
The team of lifesavers. Emergency is not something we like to think about. But mountains can be full of unpleasant surprises. Anyway, don’t worry. Our lifesavers team is always in readiness.
-
Being in the high altitude camp does not mean you have no access to civilized society. In case of homesickness in Camp 1 you can send a letter online or to make a telephone call to your beloved ones by satellite telephone.
-
In addition to the mentioned above we appreciate homelike comfort and harmony. That’s why we provided our campsites with flowerbeds and accurate surfaced walks with a number of signs for easy orientation.
-
The territory of our camps is properly lit even on very dark nights and in Base Camp every tent is provided with lights.
-
In Camp 1 (4400 m) you don’t need to put your mats on frozen earth as we provide wooden decking and kurpacha - national cotton matrasses. Besides, in Base Camp we also provide private matrasses, pillows, blankets and bed linen (sheets and pillowcases).
-
Some people suffer from lack of space in a tent. In Base Camp we can solve this problem by offering VIP service - accommodation in Kyrgyz yurt.
-
As a rule, while having rest in the Base Camp and Camp 1, people like to eat something really savoury. We suppose that juicy shish-kebab is the best dish to regain the strength of a tired mountaineer. This traditional oriental dish can be made of mutton, beef or chicken. And as a specialty, it can be even made of yak meat.
-
Each successful ascent brings you a genuine delight. We do share your feelings and are ready to arrange a real celebration of the event with a delicious freshly baked gala cake. Moreover, we keep the tradition of presenting our climbers with an official certificate to prove his or her ascent of the summit. A cake and a certificate are not the only pleasant traditions of ours. We have many other surprises which are in store for you during this celebration.
