Kazkhstan - Climbing in the Tien Shan inc Khan Tengri - 30th July to  28th August 2011


Based at a semi-permanent camp on the North Inylchek Glacier, which is reached by helicopter. From this point there are numerous easy - difficult routes on the many 6000m+ peaks on the west side of the glacier which can be climbed/explored, before having a go at Khan Tengri (7010m) to the east. This approach is the safest way up the mountain, which has to be one of the most beautiful anywhere.

Costs:
Flights to Almaty approx £500pp from UK.
Trip about £1200pp - all accommodation, transfers, meals at base camp, based on a minimum of six people.
$500 pp spending money in Almaty for hillfood, meals, supplies.
