Duration: 24 days - Explore Central Asian Patagonia
- Rock walls of 60-90 degrees steepness and up to 2 km high
- Spectacular views of southern Kyrgyzstan
Best season: June - September This programme is for alpinists specialised on rock climbing. Summits in upper reaches of the Lialiak and Karavshin rivers on the Southern Kyrgyzstan territory look like the mountains in South Patagonia but they are higher and have rock walls of 2 km. Mountains in the basin of Lialiak River are more interesting for ascents: Ak-Suu 5355m, Blok 5229 m, Iskander 5120 m. The highest point in this region is Piramidalniy Peak - 5509 m which is located in the basin of Karavshin river, in 30 km to the east. Near you can see mountains with rock walls. Those are the Asan-Usen and Russia peaks. Short approaches (about 5 km) from the base camps lead to walls. Steepness is of 60-90 degrees.
