Itinerary: (Bishkek-Bishkek) | Bishkek - Osh - “Edelweisse Meadow” Base camp - Osh - Bishkek |
In the region of the Altay range (Pamir-Altay), apart from the Lenin Peak (7134 meters) which is the highest point, there are many other beautiful mountaintops that are unfairly overlooked by travelers. When climbing those mountain Peaks, you will see the world from a new height and make your first steps in the world of high-mountain alpinism. This tour will also suit those who like to experience and get familiar with the surroundings and gradual and steady acclimation before climbing up a 7000-meter mountain.
You can choose the following aspects for your particular journey: the length of the expedition, the level of difficulty, and the number of Peaks visited during the climb.
- 2 Peaks: Ryzhaya Katya Peak (4131 meters) + Yuhin Peak (5130 meters). This is the easiest and shortest option for the tour which will greatly suit beginners and amateur mountain climbers. It is best to be physically fit for this program, however, it is not required to have any prior mountain climbing experience. The route is not technically complicated, but it is important to remember that climbing to high altitudes always involves certain health risks, risks of individual health reactions of one’s body, the risk of a force majeure, and difficult weather conditions.
- 3 Peaks: Ryzhaya Katya Peak (4131 meters) + Yuhin Peak (5130 meters) + Razdelnaya Peak (6148 meters). This program is considered to be of an extreme sports category and requires appropriate equipment, high level of physical shape, and great endurance.
- 4 Peaks: Ryzhaya Katya Peak (4131 meters) + Yuhin Peak (5130 meters) + Razdelnaya Peak (6148 meters) + Lenin Peak (7134 meters). This program is the absolute maximum that this region can offer: all participants will climb all the significant Peaks that are located within a walking distance from the Base camps, including the high-altitude flagship Peak – the Lenin Peak. Being the most difficult of all options, this route requires vast mountain climbing experience, excellent fitness level, and high-quality equipment.
All ascents are made in a group with an experienced mountain guide. The program is realized on the base of our own camps at the foot of Lenin Peak: the “Edelweiss Meadow” Base Camp (3600 meters), “Solnechnyy” Advansed Base Camp 1 (4400 meters), high-altitude Camp 2 (5300 meters), and high-altitude Camp 3 (6100 meters).
- 2 summits: Ryzhaya Katya (4131 M) +
Yuhin Peak (5130 M) - 3 summits: Ryzhaya Katya (4131 M) +
Yuhin Peak (5130 M) +
Razdelnaya peak (6148 M) - 4 summits: Ryzhaya Katya (4131 M) +

Ascending to the top of the Razdelnaya Peak (6,148m) is an extreme travel activity and so it poses certain health and life risks.
Besides, Lenin Peak area has no well-functioning government rescue facilities like those in Europe. We as a company, therefore, do our best to ensure the safety of our clients at our base camps at the foot of Lenin Peak and during the ascent of the mountain and build our own rescue team consisting of experienced guides and mountaineering instructors. Considering rescue operations are always costly contingencies breaking the itineraries and putting additional load upon our team, we request each expedition participant obtain an insurance policy in due time, since the policy money will then cover the cost of search and rescue operations if necessary.
On our part, we do our best to reduce the possibility of emergency situations to the smallest degree. Nevertheless, we hope you also make every effort to maintain safe climbing.
