About the tour

Khan-Tengri climb involves top physical loads and requires altitude climbing experience along with high level of mountain climbing skills. The climbing route technically is very challenging and dangerous, requiring a good amount of self-discipline, coherence, excellent skills in belaying and dealing with a variety of mountain terrain along with very good physical fitness.

The itinerary we offer for a Khan Tengri climb with Mountain Guide involves three weeks of carrying 25–30 kg backpacks and camping life in rather uncomfortable conditions, with temperature reaching as low as –40 °C at altitudes above 5,000 m.

And your reward for overcoming all these challenges will be Khan Tegri – the most spectacular of the Tien Shan mountains and one of the world’s most beautiful peaks with its perfectly shaped pyramidal summit.
