Question 1

What is the difficulty level of the Lenin Peak Base Camp Trek?

Audrey · Accepted Answer

Hiking up to Lenin Peak Base Camp is considered a difficult or challenging trek due to its steep ascents and descents, high altitudes and mountain passes, and difficult terrain with scree, snow, and rocks. Trekkers should be physically fit with experience with treks at altitude with steep climbs and challenging trails.

Our Lenin Peak Base Camp Trek is 8 days long, starting first with Jiptick (4,185 m) and Sary Mogul (4,306 m) mountain passes and building up to Base Camp One (4,400 meters / 14,435 feet) and Yuhina Peak (5,130 meters / 16,830 feet). It's important to have a good level of fitness for this trek and take time to acclimatize properly. If you have trouble with altitude and steep ascents at the beginning, we can assist you with horses over the first couple of passes. However, the trek to Peak Lenin Base Camp and Yuhina Peak will be without luggage and horses to support.
