Pamir Peaks ascents allows you to take the first steps in high-altitude mountaineering, further explore the Lenin peak area and get an excellent acclimatization before climbing to the 7000+ m summits.
Tour "Pamirs` Summits" include climbing Yukhin Peak (5130m) and Razdelnaya Peak (6148m) in the Lenin Peak area.
The climbing guided groups are formed internationally. The program belongs to the categories of extreme sports and requires appropriate equipment, physical fitness and endurance. This program operated based on our own camps in the Lenin Peak area: “Edelweiss Meadow” Base camp (3600 m), “Sunny” Camp 1 (4400 m), High altitude Camp 2 (5300 m).Yukhin peak (5130 m) is a beautiful 5000 m peak in the northern spurs of Lenin Peak. There are no steep glaciers and rocky sections while ascending Yukhin Peak, and the greatest difficulty is the increasing height and steepness of the snow slope (in some places up to 45°). From the top of Yukhin Peak, you can enjoy a stunning view on the grandiose snowy wall of Lenin Peak on one side, and the endless Alay Valley on the other.
Razdelnaya peak (6148 m) is the well-known 6000 m peak of the Trans-Alay Range, through which the classic route of the ascent to Lenin Peak passes. Altitude, crossing open and covered crevasses, low temperatures and extreme weather conditions can present certain difficulties and risks. Climbing Razdelnaya peak is an ideal option for the first “height test”, gaining valuable altitude experience and acclimatization for subsequent ascents to the summits of 7000+ m in the Pamirs, Tian Shan or Nepal.We offer the program in 2 options - via Osh and via Bishkek.

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.
