The tour is for those people who would like “to kill two birds with one stone”, i.e. to subjugate two seventhousanded peaks in one season.
The unique location of Lenin and Muztag-Ata Peaks allows transferring from one base camp to other for one day. Both seventhousanded peaks are simple in alpinist relation, but they request a good physical training. The tour will remain in your memory for a long time not just your alpinist feat and an exotic and original culture of two mountain countries – Kyrgyzstan and Chinese Xingjian. It’s the best tour – it’s necessary just to find 35-40 days with free time and …… money, of course.
