The camp is situated in a cold, snowy environment with permafrost peaks around. A sweeping panorama of the majestic Lenin Peak, towering above you like a snow titan, will give a truly incredible and epic view. It is indeed inspiring, yet humbling to stand so close to this iconic peak.

Day 2: Yukhin Peak — Tulpar-Kol (or stay for one more day)
After breakfast, begin your ascent to Peak Yukhin, standing at an impressive altitude of 5130 meters. This is one of the best acclimatization peaks, allowing climbers to reach the summit without the need for crampons or ropes.
