★★★★★We spent two years preparing for the seven-thousander, and with friends from our section we decided to close the gestalt. In August the weather is changeable, but we got lucky. The program is long, 18 days, with gradual acclimatization. Overall, the organization is top-notch.

★★★★★We came with a team from Almaty, wanting to test ourselves. In August the weather often worsened, and we waited for a window. The summit push was difficult, but we made it. Organization is clear, everything according to plan.

★★★★★I went to Pobeda in August; the route is difficult, but Aidos as the senior guide sorted everything out and during acclimatization advised how to walk properly. In August the weather is already cool, minus at night, but tolerable. The descent went fine.

★★★★★My husband and I went on the climb, we already had experience with seven-thousanders. Zhanna picked everything regarding dates and booking, thanks to her. The weather in August was challenging, but experience helped. The program is long, but every day is scheduled. Acclimatization was tough, especially at altitude. The upper camps were memorable for the cold and wind. The summit push was emotional, we reached the top. The descent was easier, though we were very tired. We were satisfied despite the difficulties.

★★★★★My husband and I had long wanted to try high-altitude mountaineering, and this tour was our first serious test. In August the weather was kind, but on the glacier it was still cold at night. The program is long, but every day is scheduled. Acclimatization was hard, but the guides helped. The upper camps are remembered for the wind. The summit push was emotional. The descent was easier. We were satisfied, though very tired.

★★★★★My friend and I had long dreamed of celebrating my anniversary in an unusual way, and we decided it would be climbing a seven-thousander. Aliya coordinated the group gathering and helped with documents. The weather in August was capricious, but we managed. What I remember most is acclimatization on the glacier: hard at first, then we got into it. In the upper camps the wind was strong, we slept in tents. The summit push was not easy, but the emotions outweighed the fatigue. The descent went fine, though we were very tired. Overall, the organization was good, everything according to plan.

The program is laid out by days, acclimatization at 5000 and 6000. The summit push was hard, but we made the top. The descent to base camp took two days. The group was experienced, everyone supported each other. We checked the gear before setting out. Overall, everything was well organized.

Ask a questionThis is an 18-day group tour, and you are on the move almost the whole time: first approaches with pack animals to base camp, then a series of outings onto the glacier, ascents to the high camps and the summit push. Nights at altitude, a long ridge and sharp changes in how you feel — this route is for those who already have serious high-altitude experience. Before departure the guide will advise you on how to pace yourself through the stages.
No, this summit requires experience of climbing seven-thousanders — without it we do not take you into the group. The programme includes nights in camps at altitude, outings onto the glacier and a summit push along the ridge, and a beginner cannot manage that. If you have the experience, write on WhatsApp and we will clarify the details for your date.
The basic kit is comfortable clothing for the weather, water, a light snack, a charged phone, a hat and sun protection, but for this summit that is not enough. On the ridge the weather can turn literally within an hour, so the gear needs to be serious and high-altitude. The guide will tell you the full list for our route before departure.
Our departures are only in August. On the ridge above seven thousand the weather can turn literally within an hour, so the programme includes spare days for it to improve and for extra acclimatisation. We will clarify the exact forecast for your date on WhatsApp.
