Author's tour

The original itinerary was developed based on extensive experience and other nuances from previous trips, distilled into this tour. This trip is unique in that it is designed with pre-acclimatization in mind for the ascent to an altitude of 5,130 m.

trekking

Climbing 5130

If you've been wanting to challenge yourself and climb a new height or peak, Yukhin Peak is the perfect option. The route is suitable for everyone. A summit climb isn't necessary; you can have a great time at base camp, sunbathing, and SUPing among the mountains.

For some, it will just be a jeep tour

This tour covers almost the entire country. Therefore, even if you're unprepared or unwilling to climb the peak, you'll still see a variety of beautiful sights, with images that change over the entire route. You'll also visit the 3600m Base Camp, from where you can see Lenin Peak (7134m).

Day 1. Today, we'll have a long drive along a beautiful road. Along the way, we'll stop, take photos, and walk a bit, taking a break from the road. We'll see three significant sites: 1) Too-Ashuu Pass. The pass is notable for its steep switchbacks and stunning views. The highest point of the pass is at an altitude of 3,200 meters. The northern and southern slopes at the top of the pass are connected by a 2.2-kilometer-long tunnel. 2) Suusamyr Valley. Suusamyr is a 150-kilometer-long valley located between three major ridges of the northern Tien Shan: the Kyrgyz, Suusamyr-Too, and Jumgal-Too. Since ancient times, this valley has been a very fertile place: it's no coincidence that the Great Silk Road passed through it. 3) Chychkan Gorge is a long and picturesque gorge in the northern part of the Jalal-Abad region, crossed by the Bishkek-Osh road. Anyone who has traveled from Bishkek to Osh by car probably remembers this remarkable place well. The wooded gorge, its slopes covered with Tien Shan spruce, flowers, and thickets of mountain berries, leaves few people indifferent.

Toktogul Reservoir – Naryn River – Lakes in Sary-Chelek (overnight in a wooden cabin). If the cabin is occupied, then stay in a guest house further down in the village (285 km).

Day 2. 1) Toktogul Reservoir. We admire and photograph the panoramic views from the vantage points and take a morning swim in the warm, clean reservoir. 2) Naryn River. We drive along the beautiful Naryn River, which constantly changes color depending on the light and weather conditions. We stop and admire the confluence of two rivers: the Kara-Suu and the Naryn. 3) Lakes in Sary-Chelek. We arrive at the beautiful lakes and check into a wooden guesthouse. However, it can't be reserved in advance, so if it's occupied, we stay in a nice guesthouse further down in the village.

A day's stay in Sary-Chelek. We'll hike around the lakes all day. We'll go to a panoramic viewpoint.

Day 3. This day we take a complete rest from the road and walk through the mountains, admiring the Sary-Chelek lakes from different vantage points and angles.

Sary - Chelek - Arslanbob. Early departure, arrival at lunchtime. Hike to a waterfall/waterfalls. Overnight at a guesthouse (228 km).

Day 4. Arslanbob. Today we head to the world-famous Arslanbob. It's considered one of the largest walnut forests in the world. Walnuts grow there everywhere. It's a place of incredible beauty and authenticity. Once there, you feel like you're in another world.

Departure along the Pamir Highway to the Lenin Base Camp. Overnight at the base camp. (380 km)

Day 5. Today we'll travel along the famous Pamir Highway. We'll cross two high passes. And by evening, we'll see the famous seven-thousanders, headed by Lenin Peak. It's a mecca for climbers from all over the world. We'll arrive at Lenin Peak Base Camp in the late afternoon. We'll check into the tent camp. Rest. A walk to the lakes (optional). Dinner.

Day 7. This day marks the beginning of the active part of the tour for those wishing to reach a new altitude, namely Yukhina Peak at 5,130 m. However, for those who find this a challenging task, they can limit themselves to a hike to Camp 1, which offers all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Alternatively, they can stay at Base Camp at 3,600 m and stroll around and enjoy the views. Today's goal is to ascend to Camp 1 at 4,400 m.

Ascent to Yukhin Peak 5130 m. Descent to Camp 1 (4400 m).

Day 8. We're heading to the summit of Yukhin Peak. It's a hiking mountain, but quite high. It's perfect for getting to know your body and understanding how it functions at altitude. From the summit, there's a breathtaking view of the North Face of Lenin Peak (7,134 m) and the Alai Valley. The classic ascent route doesn't have any steep rock or ice sections and requires no special equipment other than trekking boots and poles.

Descent from Camp 1 to Base Camp at 3600 m.

Day 9. Returning to base camp at 3600m.

Base camp of Lenin village - the city of Kazarman (470 km.)

Day 10. *If the tunnel opens (still under construction), we'll cut down on travel time and go even further, to Kochkorka. We'll spend the night in a guesthouse there. That day, we'll have a long drive to the town of Kazarman. Along the way, we'll pass through many beautiful mountain passes and valleys. Lunch will be at a cafe along the way.

Kazarman - Orto-Tokoy Reservoir - Tamga. South coast of IR. (402 km)

We'll arrive there just before sunset, allowing you to take beautiful photos and enjoy the sunset.

Route Information

Accommodation

Guesthouses with showers and comfortable conditions ensure tourists can recover and fully rest. Only at Lenin Peak Base Camp will we spend four days in tents, but they are incredibly comfortable and the food is hearty. Warm showers are also available at Base Camp at 3,600m.

General information about the route

This tour covers almost the entire country. We'll see a variety of beautiful places, with changing scenes throughout the route. Mountains, passes, lakes, waterfalls, alpine meadows, glaciers, walnut groves, and much more. The contrasts of these places are striking. This has been proven on more than one trip. This customized itinerary was developed based on extensive experience and other nuances from previous trips, distilled into this tour. This trip is unique in that it is designed with pre-acclimatization in mind for the ascent to an altitude of 5,130 m. Our entire trip will lead us to this adventure. But even for those who find this altitude challenging, there will be plenty to do in 2-3 days, with everyone able to conquer their own heights or simply relax and enjoy themselves at Lenin Peak Base Camp, gazing at the towering giants in the surrounding area. And after the high mountains, on the return journey, we'll swim and sunbathe in the lakes, as July is the peak swimming season. We'll restore and recharge our batteries. Calling this trip a tour isn't quite accurate; it's a mini-expedition that's sure to captivate any nature lover.
