There are clean mountain springs throughout the Pamir-Alay Mountains and specifically during the first few days of the Peak Lenin Base Camp Trek. We can refill water bottles from these springs and yurt stays will provide boiled water. To be on the safe side, bring purification drops or powder to clean river or spring waters. We also recommend refillable bring a water bottle with its own filtration and purification like a Grayl Water Bottle or LifeStraw Water Bottle.
For the second part of this trek from Tulpar Kol Lake to Peak Lenin Base Camp to Yuhina Peak, there will be fewer mountain springs so drinking water (boiled) will be provided by the yurt camp and Base Camp.
We advise visitors to drink as much water as possible to avoid dehydration and avoid altitude sickness.
