1 – Everyone can;
10 – Everest climber.
You will meet at the airport of Osh and go to the base camp that is situated under Lenin Peak at an altitude of 3,600 m. The journey will take about 5 hours, but the road won’t be boring — you will enjoy impressive views of the Pamirs along the way. The camp with the poetic name Edelweiss Glade is located in a picturesque place among alpine meadows and sparkling glaciers. You will be accommodated in comfortable heated tents, have some rest, and then go for the first walk — to the Lukovaya meadow, which will amaze you with a lot of bright fragrant flowers.
Today you’ll go for a walk to the turquoise Tulpar Kol lake surrounded by flowering meadows and breathtaking views of the snow-covered seven-thousanders. The lake is considered sacred among local residents, so swimming and fishing is not allowed here.
Then you’ll visit real Kyrgyz nomads living in yurts. You’ll get to know their way of life and traditions, see their national costumes and take multiple pictures.
Today you will have an acclimatization hike to the crest of Petrovsky Peak. You will go up to a height of 4,150 m, which offers majestic views of the Alai Valley, the pearls of lakes scattered between the ridges, and the majestic Lenin Peak in all its glory.
You will return to the base camp to have a good rest — you should get ready for the first conquest of the peak that happens tomorrow.
In the morning you’ll leave the Edelweiss Glade and head towards the Solnechny camp at an altitude of 4,400 m. Unnecessary things can be left in the storage room. If you are not ready to carry a backpack on your own, for an extra fee your things can be transported on horseback.
Having overcome the Travelers Pass, you will get to a flat area adjacent to the moraine. You’ll cross the river and continue up the glacier to the moraine, where the camp is located. You will spend two nights in permanent tents surrounded by glaciers.
Today you are going to conquer Yukhin Peak. You’ll leave your backpacks at the camp and go lightly. Standard route to the peak does not require any special skills, but you will need a reserve of strength to overcome some sharp climbs along the way.
After crossing the moraine, you’ll descend into the couloir — a narrow gully on the slope — and climb to the top along it. You’ll have to overcome sections with scree and steep ascents, but at the end of the way you’ll see magnificent views of the Alai Valley and the northern wall of Lenin Peak. An unforgettable sight!
The return trip will follow the same route to the Solnechny camp.
Today you’ll stay in the camp and learn the techniques of moving on the glacier, climbing and descending on a fixed rope, overcoming cracks and self-rescue. Then you’ll pack your things and prepare the equipment for tomorrow’s route.
Today you’ll move to the next camp at an altitude of 5,300 m. You’ll wake up early to get on the road before sunrise: the sunshine can be very exhausting during the transitions.
You’ll have to use crampons and ropes, so you’ll need all the knowledge that you received yesterday. First, you will overcome the Lenin Glacier, and from the Northern Wall you’ll start a steep ascent to the so-called “skovorodka” (“frying pan”) — a snow-covered flat area. There is an increased risk of avalanche here, so you’ll have to pass this area quickly.
From here you’ll ascend to the Camp 2. You’ll rope up, because there are many cracks in this part of the route. Upon arrival, you’ll rest and have lunch. In high-altitude camps you will cook food yourselves with the products that you’ll receive in the base camp.
Under the strict supervision of the instructor you’ll get onto the route using crampons and ropes. First, you’ll climb a rocky crest and walk along it to the next one leading to the top of Razdelnaya Peak. A little bit more — and you are looking at the Pamirs from a height of 6,148 meters. An unforgettable sight!
You’ll walk down to the camp along the same route.
With a sense of satisfaction and pride, you’ll set off on the way down. You will go to the Solnechny camp using ropes and crampons. After lunch and some rest you’ll continue the way to the base camp. On the road, you’ll see the majestic panoramas of colored mountains and the Land’s End canyon. You’ll spend the night at the familiar Edelweiss Glade at an altitude of 3,600 m.
Today will be a reserve day in case of bad weather on the day of the climb to Razdelnaya Peak. If everything goes according to the plan, you’ll spend time at the camp relaxing or exploring the surroundings.
In the morning you’ll enjoy the views of snow-white peaks and flowering meadows for the last time and go to Osh by minibus. On the way you’ll overcome two beautiful mountain passes — Taldyk and Chyirchyk.
Upon arrival, you’ll be able to relax and spend time as you like: walk around the city, buy souvenirs for your family or stay at the hotel.

July and August are the most pleasant months for traveling in the Pamirs. However, in the mountains the weather is changeable, so you need to be prepared for hot, warm, and cold weather with rain and snow.
The checklist #85 will help you prepare for this trip.
The route requires appropriate equipment, physical fitness and endurance.
Climbing in the highlands is always associated with certain risks, including difficult weather conditions and individual body reactions to altitude.
On the hiking part of the tour (3 days) every participant will carry their own belongings. Porter services or horseback transportation of personal belongings are available at an extra cost.
The average weight of a backpack on the “Edelweiss Glade — Solnechny” part of the route is 20–23 kg (including tourist equipment with a sleeping bag, boots, clothes, climbing gear, and food).
Above the Solnechny camp the average weight of a backpack is about 15 kg. Each camp is equipped with a storage room, in high-altitude camps there are special service tents for storing things.
All the participants must be over 18 years old.
Important: to participate in the program, you must have mountaineering experience and experience climbing peaks over 5000 meters!
The extra fee for the transportation depends on the weight of the things and part of the route. One-way prices are the following:
Before departure to the Solnechny camp, the participants should inform the commandant of the approximate weight of their belongings that they want to send on horseback. Weighing and payment takes place on the day of departure in the morning before breakfast. Return transportation is ordered the same way, only from the commandant of the Solnechny camp.
Note: Since this is a group tour, the food is the same for all participants. Unfortunately, we cannot prepare an individual meal for you. If you have an intolerance or allergy to any of the products, please notify the manager in advance. We will pass this information on to the guide or accommodations. However, we kindly ask you to follow up on this matter during the trip. If you have strict dietary restrictions, we recommend bringing suitable food with you or buy it on the spot.
This program belongs to the category of extreme sports, so each participant must get an insurance policy of the “mountaineering at an altitude of 6,000 m” category, which includes transportation of the injured as well as search and rescue operations. The amount of coverage of the policy should be not less than $30,000.
General requirements for insurance policies:
This journey offers 12 unforgettable days in the pristine mountains of the Pamirs, breathtaking views of the famous Lenin Peak and climbing two peaks: Yukhin Peak (5,130 m) and Razdelnaya Peak (6,148 m).
Conquering a height of 6,000 meters is a real challenge and a test of strength. To participate in this program, you will need stamina and good physical shape. Climbing experience is not required: professional instructors will teach you all the necessary skills.
Only 3 days out of 12 you will have to move with backpacks. And if you are not ready to carry a heavy backpack at all, you can always use the help of porters or horses. You’ll be accomodated in comfortable equipped camps with toilets, showers, electricity and hot three meals a day from chefs. And only 2 nights, during the ascent to the six-thousander, you will spend in an unequipped high-altitude camp, where you will cook on your own.
For those who are not ready for such physical loads, but dream of visiting the Pamirs, we have an easier 8-day route.
