Trekking in Pamir/ Tian Shan where to start
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 10:23 pm
Hej,
Me and my friends are planning to go to the Pamir/Tian Shan this summer (July/August), but the Pamir / Tian Shan is big ! So where to go.
Who we are and what we want to do:
We are 3 guys with many hiking-experience, but limited mountaineering experience, but we all had some glacier rescuing courses and do know how to walk on a glacier, handle a rope, climbed some easy summits…
We want to make a high altitude trekking about 10 days in Pamir/Tian Shan, with the possibility to climb some non technical >5000m summit or maybe even 6000m?
We prefer to hike in remote (not crowded, though I think this is probably not such an issue in the entire region) area with lovely sceneries on the high peaks (of course seeing one of the snow leopard-peaks is plus).
Currently I am more tending towards Tian Shan (Muztag area) around Khan Tengri, Kirgistan (e.g. Dzhergalan – engilchek) (as discribed in trekking in Russia by Frith Maier).
So If anybody has some more suggestions, experiences.
Thanks a lot,
Brecht
