This guided mountain program combines two 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 to reach two summits — 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 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 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.
This program combines two of Kyrgyzstan’s non-technical summit climbs in one itinerary: Uchitel Peak (4530 m) in Ala-Archa National Park and Yukhin Peak (5130 m) in the Lenin Peak region.
The route builds in two stages: first a classic alpine summit above Bishkek, then a higher-altitude climb near Lenin Peak. This gives participants time to build confidence, adapt to altitude, and experience two distinct mountain regions in one trip.

Ak-Sai Travel has operated expeditions in the Pamir and the Tien-Shan since 1998, supporting climbers from dozens of countries. We run the base camps, hold the permits, handle the transport, and coordinate the mountain logistics, so the system behind your climb is managed by one experienced local team.
We run the base and high-altitude camps on the mountain, staffed every season, so you arrive to a camp that is already set up and can put your energy into acclimatization, recovery, and the summit push.
We operate our own mountain rescue team and carry out rescue operations in the mountains, working alongside the Ministry of Emergency Situations (except Pobeda Peak).
Permits, transport, and camp operations are handled by one local team, with people at our Bishkek office and on location at the camps, so support is close by through the expedition.
Our mountain guides are trained toward established mountaineering standards, including national and Soviet-era classifications, and hold professional mountaineering categories. They work these peaks season after season.
