Arrival in Bishkek. Meeting at Manas Airport, transfer to the hotel, and check-in. In the evening, free time to walk around the capital, get acquainted with the city and its atmosphere, dinner, as well as preparation for the trip and packing of equipment.

Transfer from Bishkek to Karkyra camp (~460 km). Upon arrival, check-in at the camp, meet the team and familiarize yourself with the camp infrastructure, dinner, and evening preparations for the next day.

Helicopter flight to South Engilchek Base Camp (4000 m). During the flight, you will enjoy breathtaking views of mountain peaks, glaciers, and valleys. Upon arrival, you will be accommodated at the camp.

Acclimatization days and preparation for the climb. An easy walk around the base camp helps the body get used to the altitude, equipment is checked and prepared for further ascents, and there is an opportunity to enjoy the stunning views of glaciers and mountains.

Departure from Base Camp South Engilchek and ascent to Camp 1 (4200 m). The route passes across a glacier, where climbers can practice their rope team skills and use of equipment. The journey takes several hours and requires good physical fitness.

Ascent to Camp 2 (5300 m). The route becomes more difficult and longer: it passes over a steep glacier with crevasses and snowy sections, where crampons and ropes are required. As we gain altitude, the air becomes thinner, so we move slowly and steadily.

Transition to Camp 3 (5800 m). The ascent is along a steeper slope with sections of deep snow and ice ridges. Here, the serious effects of altitude are already being felt – breathing becomes more difficult, steps slower, and each stop becomes an important moment of recovery. Participants usually move in groups, overcoming ice crevasses and steep sections.

Ascent to Camp 4 (6400 m). This is one of the most difficult sections of the route: the path runs along steep ice and snow terrain with sharp bends and potentially avalanche-prone slopes. The altitude is becoming increasingly noticeable – breathing slows down, strength diminishes, so the pace of movement becomes very measured. Upon arrival, climbers set up camp, prepare warm food, and try to recover as much as possible.

Descent to Camp 1 (4200 m). After several nights at high altitudes, returning downhill is a real relief: the air is richer, breathing is easier, and strength begins to return. It is important to remain alert on the way down – fatigue after the ascents makes the descent no less difficult and demanding.

Return to Base Camp South Enilchek. This is a time to rest, recover, and check your health.

Ascent to Camp 1 (4200 m). This stage is easier than the first time: the body has already partially acclimatized to the altitude. The ascent takes several hours and allows you to gradually get back into the rhythm of climbing. Upon arrival, set up camp, rest, and prepare for the further ascent. It is important to carefully distribute your strength here, as more difficult and longer transitions lie ahead.

Ascent to Camp 2 (5300 m). The route follows a familiar trail, but each new altitude requires additional effort. At this stage, acclimatization continues: the body adapts to the thin air, and each step becomes an important contribution to a successful ascent.

Ascent to Camp 3 (5800 m). The route runs along snow and ice terrain with possible crevasses, requiring maximum concentration and teamwork. At the camp, participants set up tents, prepare dinner, and try to recover. A night at an altitude of almost 6000 meters is an important test of acclimatization and endurance before further, even more difficult ascents.

Ascent to Camp 4 (6400 m). This section of the route requires maximum concentration: steep ice and snow slopes, possible avalanche zones, and cold winds make movement difficult. Each rope team moves slowly, with frequent breaks to catch their breath. At this altitude, the body is under serious strain, so it is important to maintain the right pace and conserve energy. This is a key stage of acclimatization before reaching the assault positions.

Ascent to Camp 5 (6900 m). This is one of the most intense and challenging days of the route: the section is difficult, with steep snow and ice climbs and strong winds, which are common at this altitude. At the camp, at an altitude of almost 7000 meters, participants set up their tents. The night here is a test of endurance and a crucial step before the summit push.

Summit push. Early departure from Camp 5 with headlamps and ascent along the snow and ice ridge to the summit. This day is the culmination of the entire route: ahead lies a long and exhausting climb, where every step requires maximum concentration and willpower. The weather plays a decisive role – strong winds and frost can make movement difficult. The reward for your efforts is the summit of Pobeda Peak, one of the most difficult and legendary in the world, with a fantastic view of the Tien-Shan. After a short stop, a careful descent back to Camp 5 (6900 m).

Descent to Camp 3 (5800 m). After a strenuous summit attempt and a night at high altitude, a long and tiring descent lies ahead. Despite the relief from the lower altitude and richer air, fatigue from the climb remains, so moving down requires caution and discipline. At Camp 3, climbers recover their strength and rest.

Descent to Camp 1 (4200 m). The descent seems easier, but fatigue after the summit attempt makes this transition no less challenging. Along the way, participants pass familiar ice sections and crevasses, where it is important to stay focused and move in groups. In the camp, the air is already much denser, breathing recovers faster, and a feeling of relief sets in.

Return to Base Camp South Engilchek. Descending from high altitude to comfortable conditions feels like a real return to life: there is more oxygen here, the temperature is stable, and you can fully relax.

Reserve days in case of bad weather. Used in case of delays during acclimatization trips or ascents. In good weather – additional rest at base camp, recovery, walks in the surrounding area, and preparation of equipment.

In the morning, helicopter flight from Base Camp to Karkyrа. Then transfer to Bishkek (about 8 hours on the road). Upon arrival, check into the hotel and rest after the journey.

Free day in Bishkek. After a long expedition, you will have time to recharge your batteries, stroll around the capital, buy souvenirs, and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. If you wish, you can visit local markets, museums, or parks, and have a farewell dinner in the evening. Overnight at a hotel.

Transfer to Manas Airport. Departure home.
