DAĞCILIKTA SPOR MASTERI ILE LENIN TEPESI'NE TIRMANIŞ

Arrive at Osh Airport at any time. Our driver will meet you and transfer you to a 3* hotel. If you have free time, visit the Eastern Bazaar and try local dishes — pilaf, samsa, lagman, and fresh flatbread. Osh is one of Central Asia’s oldest Silk Road cities, and a walk through its market is the best way to feel its oriental charm.

After breakfast, transfer to the International Mountaineering Camp “Pamirs” in Achik-Tash (3,600 m). The 7–8-hour, 300 km road passes through the alpine meadows of the Alay Valley. Accommodation in shared cabins (2–6 people). We try to place friends or couples together. Around the camp, you may spot marmots and see eagles and golden eagles soaring above.

After breakfast, take an acclimatization hike to a waterfall in Achik-Tash. The trail passes through alpine meadows with edelweiss, poppies, and gentians. Marmots and pikas are often seen nearby. Return for lunch, rest, and gear check. If you’re missing any equipment, you can rent it directly at Base Camp.

After breakfast, we take an acclimatization hike to the ridge of Petrovsky Peak, reaching the first snow line at about 4,000 m. From the ridge, there are breathtaking views of the Alay Valley, glaciers, and Lenin Peak. Along the way, you may spot herds of wild mountain goats. Return to Base Camp for rest and preparation for the next day’s move to Camp 1.

After breakfast, we head to Camp 1. Loads can be sent by horse (not included). The trail starts from Lukovaya Polyana — grassy slopes home to marmots — and continues through alpine meadows over the Travelers’ Pass, then along the ridge beside the Lenin Glacier, offering panoramic views of its rocky moraines. The hike takes 4–6 hours depending on fitness. Overnight in double tents.

Another acclimatization climb. We move over moraines, then up steep scree slopes of small and medium stones, with possible snow patches. No technical gear is required. Depending on fitness, you can climb Domashniy Peak (4,750 m) or continue to Yukhina Peak (5,100 m), which offers the best view of the Lenin Glacier and Razdelnaya massif. Return to Camp 1.

Morning ice practice. Review glacier travel, rope team movement, fixed rope ascent and descent, and crevasse rescue techniques. This session helps refresh essential mountaineering skills before moving higher. Afternoon rest and preparation for the ascent to Camp 2.

Early start at 3–4 a.m. We cross the Lenin Glacier, then ascend roped up across snowy slopes riddled with crevasses. The route leads to the vast white plateau called “Skovoroda” — endless snowfields lying between Lenin Peak and Razdelnaya Mountain. Crossing the plateau, we reach the Camp 2 area at about 5,400 m. The climb takes 7–9 hours. Overnight in tents. Participants cook their own meals; food and cooking gear are provided

Start at 9 a.m. From Camp 2 we climb onto the massif ridge, continue along a broad crest, then ascend steeply to the top of Razdelnaya Peak (6,148 m). From here, you get one of the best views in the Pamirs — the Korzhenevskaya (7,105 m) and Kommunizma (7,495 m) peaks. Movement in crampons and roped teams. The ascent takes 4–6 hours. Overnight in tents, self-catering.

After another round of acclimatization, we descend from Razdelnaya, passing Camp 2 on the way to Camp 1. Along the descent, we can once again admire the Lenin Glacier and the “Skovoroda” plateau — now familiar, but looking completely different from above.

Today we lose all altitude and return to Base Camp (3,600 m), allowing our bodies to rest and recover with plenty of oxygen before the final summit push.

A full rest day at Base Camp — time to dry gear, relax, and enjoy the scenery. You can walk to the Tulpar-Kol lakes and see Lenin Peak reflected in their clear water. A sauna is available for an extra fee.

Another rest day to recover strength before the upcoming climb. You can spend it as you wish — take a walk through meadows dotted with edelweiss, watch marmots near the camp, and enjoy the calm atmosphere before the summit push.

We follow the same familiar trail back to Camp 1 — first by vehicle to Lukovaya Polyana, then on foot. It’s a return to the world of glaciers and altitude, and the route now feels shorter and easier.

Early departure at 3–4 a.m. The climb goes up the northern slope of Lenin Peak. We move roped up, in crampons, crossing glacier fields and crevasses. Overnight in tents at Camp 2. Participants cook their own food.

Start at 9 a.m. A steep rise begins right after camp, followed by a broad ridge and another sharp climb to Razdelnaya Peak (6,148 m), offering panoramic views of central Pamir — Korzhenevskaya (7,105 m) and Kommunizma (7,495 m, now Ismoil Somoni). The climb takes 4–6 hours. Overnight in tents at Camp 3, self-catering, and preparation for the summit attempt.

Start between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. From Camp 3, we climb steeply upward, then continue over a gentle slope toward a narrow, steep snow-and-ice ridge. After that, we move along a rocky crest leading to a broad snow plateau starting around 6,900 m. At sunrise, above 6,000 m, the peaks turn pink in the morning light. We follow the plateau to the summit of Lenin Peak. Important: if you have not reached the top by 2:00 p.m., begin your descent. Return to Camp 3.

Early in the morning, descend from Camp 3 to Camp 1. Lunch and rest at Camp 1.

Return to Base Camp. Loads can be transported by horse (not included). In the evening, a festive dinner and summit celebration at Base Camp.

Extra day in case of bad weather. Altogether, three days are available for the summit attempt — one will be used depending on conditions.

After breakfast, transfer from Base Camp to the city of Osh. Lunch box en route. Upon arrival, accommodation in a hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer to the airport. You can fly out at any time during the day — our driver will take you to the airport at the scheduled time.
