Established Expedition Camps
Ak-Sai Travel operates base and high altitude camps, supporting climbers every season. A stable camps environment with expert staff allows climbers to focus on acclimatization, recovery, and summit strategy.
This guided mountain program combines two Kyrgyzstan’s most rewarding non-technical summit climbs: Uchitel Peak (4530 m) in Ala-Archa National Park and Yukhin Peak (5130 m) in the Lenin Peak region.
It is designed for beginner climbers who want more than a scenic hike — a chance to reach two real summits above 4500 m and 5000 m without technical mountaineering equipment or advanced climbing training.
Uchitel Peak offers a classic alpine ascent above Bishkek through rocky scree and snow sections in one of Kyrgyzstan’s best-known mountain areas.
Yukhin Peak offers a higher-altitude objective near Lenin Peak (7134 m), with wide views of the North Face of Lenin Peak and the Alay Valley.
Together, these two climbs create a strong progression: first a classic alpine summit in Ala-Archa, then a higher non-technical ascent in the Pamir / Trans-Alay region.
This itinerary is ideal for travelers who want to:
This is a strong choice for people who want a real summit challenge without committing to a technical expedition.
The program is structured as a natural progression: first Uchitel Peak (4530 m) in Ala-Archa National Park, then Yukhin Peak (5130 m) in the Lenin Peak region.
This gives time to adapt to altitude gradually while experiencing two very different mountain landscapes in one trip.
