Climbing Lenin Peak and Khan Tengri in One Season

A Strategic Approach to Two 7,000-Meter Summits in Central Asia

Climbing two 7,000-meter peaks in a single season is one of the most ambitious yet achievable goals in high-altitude mountaineering.
In Central Asia, the combination of Lenin Peak (7,134 m) and Khan Tengri (7,010 m) offers a rare opportunity to reach two iconic summits within one well-planned expedition cycle.

Is it realistic?
Yes — when executed through professionally structured programs and fixed expedition dates.


Why Lenin Peak + Khan Tengri Is the Perfect Combination

Although both mountains exceed 7,000 meters, they serve very different roles in a successful climbing strategy:

Lenin Peak

  • Ideal for gradual acclimatization

  • Long, non-technical routes

  • Excellent for building altitude tolerance and endurance

Khan Tengri

  • Highly technical alpine ascent

  • Steep terrain and complex logistics

  • Requires strong acclimatization and precise timing

Climbing Lenin Peak first, followed by Khan Tengri, is the most efficient and proven sequence.
This approach allows climbers to arrive at Khan Tengri already acclimatized, significantly increasing summit success rates while reducing overall risk and fatigue.

Attempting to organize such a project independently — without established operators, fixed logistics, and experienced local support — almost never reduces costs and often compromises safety.

SNOW LEOPARD EXPEDITION 2026

Three 7000+ Peaks of Kyrgyzstan in One Summer

Lenin Peak (7134 m) — Khan Tengri (7010 m) — Pobeda Peak (7439 m)
A single-season high-altitude alpine project


This Is Not a Tour.

This Is an Alpine Expedition Project.

The Snow Leopard Expedition 2026 is designed for experienced mountaineers capable of operating in complex high-altitude environments with a high degree of autonomy, sound judgment, and full acceptance of objective risk.

This program is not a guided “summit guarantee.”
It is a logistically optimized framework for attempting three major 7000-meter peaks within one summer season in the Tien Shan and Pamir.


Program Concept

The project is built around three core principles:

  • Logistical efficiency without unnecessary constraints

  • Guided support only where it is technically and strategically justified

  • Clear ethical boundaries regarding risk and responsibility

Participants who do not yet possess sufficient high-altitude autonomy are strongly advised to choose fully guided, fixed-date programs — particularly for Lenin Peak and Khan Tengri.

Completing the Snow Leopard Triad in a single season requires not only physical conditioning, but also:

  • extensive high-altitude experience

  • conservative decision-making

  • realistic risk assessment

  • psychological resilience

Lenin Peak (7,134 m) Expedition

with Full High-Altitude Service Package

General Information

  • Mountain: Lenin Peak (Avicenna Peak), 7,134 m

  • Region: Pamir Mountains, Kyrgyzstan

  • Season: Summer

  • Start / End: Osh, Kyrgyzstan

  • Difficulty: High-altitude mountaineering expedition

  • Group format: Small international groups

  • Minimum group size: 3 participants


Expedition Price

💰 USD 1,390 per person
(for groups of 3 participants or more)

The price includes the Full High-Altitude Service Package, which significantly distinguishes this expedition from standard Lenin Peak programs.


What Makes This Expedition Different

Full High-Altitude Service Package — INCLUDED

Unlike standard Lenin Peak offers, where climbers must independently organize tents, food, and logistics above Camp 1, this expedition already includes full logistical support in high-altitude camps.

This means:

  • No need to carry personal tents above Camp 1

  • No need to plan or transport high-altitude food

  • Lower pack weight

  • Reduced physical and psychological stress

  • Higher safety margins and better recovery

This package is one of the strongest advantages of the program, especially for climbers attempting their first 7,000 m peak.


What Is Included in the Expedition Price

1. Services in Osh

  • Meet & greet at Osh International Airport

  • Group airport transfers (arrival and departure)

  • One night in a double room with breakfast in Osh

  • Pre-expedition briefing and coordination

  • Registration support where required (depending on nationality)

  • Pre-expedition consultations:

    • Physical preparation

    • Equipment recommendations

    • Acclimatization strategy
