Khan-Tengri Peak North Side Expedition (7010 m)

Khan-Tengri peak

Khan Tengri Peak — North Side Expedition (7,010 m)

A classic 7,000-meter ascent in the heart of the Tien Shan

Khan Tengri (7,010 m) is one of the most iconic and technically demanding mountains of Central Asia. Rising as a sharp marble-and-ice pyramid above the North Inylchek Glacier, it is among the northernmost 7,000-meter peaks on the planet and one of the five summits required for the historic USSR Snow Leopard title.

This professionally guided expedition follows the North Side route, widely respected for its classic alpine character, comparatively more stable snow conditions, and modern logistical support from North Inylchek Base Camp.
