Programs for 2010

The programs for 2010 season are basically the same as last season. We try to provide better service for you, as because you can have tents mounted in Camp 2 or you will provide it for mounting without any additional cost in this Camp. It means having lower costs, less equipment for transporting and have better logistics.

We recommend the program for 25 days according to our experience. You should know that bad weather, health condition of members of expedition can be the reason of delay for several days or changing some plans.

New. Important, you can use our Camp nº1 unlimited, you will be able to stay amount days that you want. We woul like to remind you that before the time of staying was limited to 5 days.

Our Hyperbaric Chamber will be available during the month of August, as it works in Khan Tengri on July.

We hope these small changes will like you.

We designed the extensions of climbing for having good acclimatization and reach in good condition before tackling the summit of Lenin Peak, Khan Tengri Peak or Pobeda Peak.

We will give you details of the planing of these extensions during this month.

Lenin Peak’s Program of 26-days 

We have removed local flight Bishkek-Osh (single trip) in this program. The return is done by airplane. We will leave Bishkek for road to Osh by car or van. There are two days more of trip without hurry and stress for getting to Base Camp. First we will cross the mountain range of Tiui Ashuuy and descend to the great valley of Susamir. We will travel around the valley populated by small settlements of yurts for going to Chichkan’s small alpine hotel overnight, that is situated for 330 kilometers from Bishkek. Next day we will go to Osh, another 320 km. We will be able to see the geat diversity of landscapes that offers Kyrgyzstan. We will see the “pharaonic” constructions of soviet Tashkumir and Tokttogul dams. Finally, we will go to Osh, where we would visit the mountain of Suleiman, if we had time. Rest in a nice hotel. There are more days for a more gradual aclimatization in the case of bad weather. We think the chances of reaching the summit can double.
