More info about Mountain Climbing in Lenin peak:
Lenin Peak (7,134m) lies at the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and is considered one of the easiest ascents over 7,000 meters. Ascents from Kyrgyzstan are more common and easier to access. The North Face Route is the kindest and least-hazardous climb, though it still presents modest challenges. Most expeditions involve a stimulating 21-day journey through the incredible landscape of central Asia. It’s a perfect climb to bag a high-altitude mountain or as training if you are planning an ambitious ascent of an 8,000-meter behemoth. Other activities and sites in the area include the ruin-like canyons of the Eolian Castles and Ala Archa National Park for any rock climbing enthusiasts out there
