The spirit of travel
This circuit invites you to the heart of the Kyrgyzstan mountains, following in the footsteps of climbers who dream of altitude and nature immersion. Between glaciers, panoramic ridges and high-altitude camps, you progress step by step, guided and supervised, to experience true high-mountain adventure. Acclimatization days, technical training and the ascent of Razdelnaya summit create a common thread between self-discovery, safety and gradual exploration.
The experience is as much human as it is sporting: sharing camp life, meetings with the local team, simple and welcoming atmosphere facing the Pamir landscapes. On your return, visits to cities like Osh and Bishkek add a cultural touch to this journey between trekking, mountaineering and local immersion.
An ideal experience for those who wish to discover mountaineering in a wild yet supervised setting.

Tourism entry requirements
Entry requirements for tourism stays depend on your nationality and the applicable bilateral agreements between Kyrgyzstan and your country of citizenship.
