Tien Shan
- "The Celestial Mountains" is one of the world's biggest and
highest (up to 7,439 m - peak Pobeda) mountain land on the south
of Central Asia where virtually all kinds of mountain outdoors are possible
- from easy trekking to extremely difficult mountaineering. The entire
area keeps ecological purity and untouched wild nature so far. Central
Tien Shan also is very rare populated area with very few (comparing with,
for example, northern ridges of Terskey Alatoo Range) cattle grazing.
This unusual route crosses
the Terskey Ala Too ("Variegated mountains turned away from the sun")
and Saridjaz ranges via high passes, then brings you to the very heart
of Central Tien Shan. Travelers hike along one of the world's biggest
glacier - Inilchek, visit interesting natural phenomena- high-altitude
Mertzbakher Lake - glacial lake on the junction of South and North Inilchek,
which is draining into the glacier rapidly once a year close the same
time at a very beginning of August, causing the overflow down the valley.
Then, you visit the high altitude Inilchek Base Camp - the place where
you can observe the mountaineering expeditions activity on the 2 icy above
7,000 m peaks - Peak Pobeda (7439 m) and the marble pyramid
of Khan Tengri (7010 m). You descent on helicopter to the Maida Adir
checkpoint, then go on 4WD via high pass (dead Inilchek mining town en
route!) to Karakol. Medium trekking/pass hopping.
