Central Pamir | Moskvina Base Camp | Fixed Dates 2026

Two legendary seven-thousanders. One expedition. Professional guides. Proven logistics.

High in the heart of the Central Pamir Mountains, above vast glaciers and one of the world’s highest plateaus, rise two iconic summits of world alpinism:

  • Communism Peak (Ismoil Somoni) — 7,495 m
  • Ozodi Peak (Evgenii Korzhenevskaya) — 7,105 m

Our guided group expeditions offer a rare opportunity to climb both peaks in a single season, following classic routes with full acclimatization, experienced high-altitude mountain guides, and complete expedition logistics based at Moskvina Base Camp.

These programs are designed for climbers who value structure, safety, and professional support—while preserving the spirit of true expedition-style mountaineering.


The Central Pamir & Moskvina Region

The Central Pamir is one of the most important high-altitude mountaineering regions in the world. Two of the three Pamir peaks exceeding 7,000 meters are located here, along with the Fedchenko Glacier (71.2 km)—the longest glacier in Central Asia.

The landscape is defined by massive east–west–oriented mountain ranges connected by the Akademia Nauk (Academy of Sciences) Range, creating a vast and remote alpine environment.

Moskvina Base Camp — 4,100–4,360 m

Situated near an alpine lake at the confluence of the Waltern(a) and Moskvina glaciers, Moskvina Base Camp is the primary operational hub for expeditions to both Somoni and Ozodi peaks. Its location allows efficient acclimatization, flexible scheduling, and shared logistics between the two objectives.


Best Climbing Season

The Pamir climate is severe and highly variable, and the climbing season is short.

Optimal period: mid-July – August 20

During this window, weather stability, glacier conditions, and route preparation are at their best.

Guided Expedition with Established High-Altitude Camps | 2026

Guided Group Expedition | Pamir Mountains | Kyrgyzstan


Overview

Join a professionally guided ascent of Lenin Peak (7134 m) — one of the world’s most renowned and accessible 7000-meter mountains. This expedition is organized in an international guided group format and is ideally suited for individual climbers, those without a fixed team, and mountaineers taking their first step into true high-altitude expeditions.

Under the supervision of experienced high-altitude guides, participants follow a carefully designed acclimatization schedule, receive practical snow and ice movement training, and benefit from full logistical and safety support throughout the entire route — from Base Camp to the summit push.

Lenin Peak is widely regarded as a natural progression between technical 6000-meter ascents and major Himalayan objectives, offering climbers a realistic opportunity to assess physical condition, altitude tolerance, and expedition skills in a genuine 7000-meter environment.


Lenin Peak — The Most Accessible 7000er

Located in the Trans-Alay Range of the Pamir Mountains, Lenin Peak has earned its reputation as the most accessible active 7000-meter summit thanks to a unique combination of factors rarely found at this altitude:

  • A classic, non-technical route without complex rock climbing

  • Predominantly snow and glacier terrain with moderate slopes

  • A step-by-step acclimatization scheme with intermediate camps

  • Established fixed camps at key elevations

  • Professional medical and rescue infrastructure

Over the years, the Lenin Peak region has developed infrastructure unmatched among peaks of similar height. Modern base camps and high camps provide electricity, heated dining tents, Wi-Fi access, medical services, and professionally managed logistics — significantly increasing safety and reliability while preserving the true expedition character of the climb.


IMC “Pamir” — The Heart of the Expedition Area

IMC “Pamir” (3600 m) is the historical, logistical, and medical center of all Lenin Peak expeditions. For decades, it has served as the primary gateway to high-altitude ascents in the Trans-Alay Range.

Its role is essential:

  • Central hub for medical, rescue, and logistical support

  • Main location for initial acclimatization and equipment checks

  • Starting point of the classic Lenin Peak route

  • International meeting point for climbers, guides, and rescue services

Today, IMC “Pamir” combines long-standing mountaineering tradition with modern facilities, including permanent accommodation, dining halls, showers, medical units, and stable power supply.

Ismoil Somoni (Communism) Peak & Korzhenevskaya (Ozodi) Peak

Two legendary 7,000-meter summits. One world-class base camp. One complete expedition solution.

Welcome to the heart of the Central Pamir — the Moskvina area — where two of the most iconic mountains on the planet rise above the Pamirskoe Plateau:

  • Ismoil Somoni Peak (formerly Communism Peak) — 7,495 m
  • Korzhenevskaya Peak (Peak Ozodi) — 7,105 m

These peaks stand face to face above massive glaciers, offering classic Soviet-era routes, extreme altitude, serious expedition logistics, and an authentic high-mountain experience for experienced alpinists.


Why the Central Pamir (Moskvina) Is Unique

  • Home to two of the three 7,000 m peaks of the Pamirs
  • Access to the Fedchenko Glacier (71.2 km) — the longest glacier in Central Asia
  • Vast, remote terrain with true expedition-style climbing
  • A shared base camp for both peaks at 4,100 m, optimizing acclimatization and logistics

Moskvina Base Camp is strategically located at the junction of the Walter(a) and Moskvina glaciers, beside an alpine lake, and serves as the operational hub for all ascents in the region.


Best Climbing Season

The Pamir climate is harsh and unpredictable, with a short but well-defined season:

Optimal window: mid-July – August 20

This period offers the most stable weather, safer glacier conditions, and established route infrastructure.
