Ismoil Somoni peak and Korzhenevskaya peak are the highest and third highest peaks respectively in Tajikistan and are natural wonders of epic proportions!
Ismoil Somoni peak was previously and is still locally reffered to as Communism Peak, as this area was part of the former Soviet Union.
Both of these imposing mountains are included in the five ‘Snow Leopard’ mountains – the five highest peaks in the Soviet Union. Ascending all five peaks merits the climber the Snow Leopard award, the highest mountaineering accolade possible in the former Soviert Union.
Ismoil Somoni dominates the landscape and as with the highest peak in any region, attracts the greatest number of mountaineers attempting to reach its summit at 7,495m. The first ascent of Ismoil Somoni was made in 1933 and it continues to be a popular climb.
Korzhenevskaya peak reaches an altitude of 7105m and is located a little south of the Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border. Surrounded by the Muksu river and Fortambek Glacier, it provides truly stunning scenery.
Korzhenevskaya was first ascended in 1953, then in 1972 by an all-female crew and also in 1986 for the first winter ascent.
Separated by only about 12km, both Korzhenevskaya and Somoni peaks can be accessed by the same base camp of Djergital.
We will reach our base camp on the second day and then from the third day onwards we will acclimatise and do some practice ascents befor we summit Korzhenevskaya on the 14th day.
After three rest days we will helicopter our way to our start point for Ismoil Somoni peak and hope to ascend this mountain on the 22nd day.
Our itinerary of 27 days is subject to change due to weather or other unforseen circumstances and we will make the most appropriate decisions given the current information.
You will need to be very fit to complete this trip. Previous mountaineering and mountain ascension experienced in required.

I was born in what is now Bishkek, the Capital City of Kyrgyz Republic (used to be Frunze, the Capital of Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic) and live there ever since.
I started guiding professionally in 2004. I guide groups and individuals in technical and high altitude climbing, ski-tours, backcountry skiing, rock-climbing, ice climbing. I can also provide training facilities and organize trekking programs.
My main priorities in guiding are client safety and expedition success and therefore, my professional motto is “Never climb with strangers”.
In 2011, I finished my training with the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide School. The school is supported by Mammut and the Swiss and British Mountain Guide Associations and follows the IFMGA standards. Upon completion of the course and passing necessary tests I was qualified as a Mountain Guide. I am also qualified in mountain rescue and first aid by Mountaineering Instructor School in Kyrgyzstan (2012) and a member of the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide Association (KMGA) since the Autumn of 2009 where I serve as an instructor and examiner for the National Mountain Guide courses.
In my 13 years of guiding, I have worked all over Tien-Shan and Pamir in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and China and East Sayan and Lake Baikal areas in Russia. I have arranged several ski tour and backcountry skiing programs in the Ala Archa national park, Suusamyr valley, Kyrghyz Ala Too, Chong Kemin gorge, Kumtor glacier, and Terskey Ala Too.
In 2009-2016 I worked as a high altitude guide at the Lenin Peak (7134 m), Khan Tengri Peak (7010 m), Pobeda Peak (7439 m), and Muztag Ata Peak (7546 m). As a mountaineering expert, I also have participated in 6 expeditions.
Presently I have over 100 ascents of different difficulty. The most significant of them are: Pobeda peak (7439 m) 1 ascent; Lenin peak (7134 m) 13 ascents; Muztag Ata (7546 m) 1 ascent; Khan Tengri (7010 m) 1 ascent; Korona peak 1st tower ED2 Smirnov route, winter conditions; Free Korea peak ED1 George Lowe route, winter conditions; Bachachekey peak 4 routes ED1 Kusmenko, Shwab, Polik, Ilyshenko; Ak-Too peak TD route, first ascent, winter conditions; Tarasova(Slovenia) TD route, winter conditions; Simagina peak TD+ route, winter conditions.
My sport climbing level: 7a-7b on sight, 7c-8a red point.
