This region has traditionally been hidden from the rest of the world, travel here being difficult due to the great mountains to the south and the east (and indeed, inside much of central Asia), and the vast grasslands in the west and the north. It was accessible only to travellers on the great silk road between China and Europe, and to armies of conquerors coming from the east and the north. For this reason few came here, and tourism was almost unknown here till a few years ago. |

Khan Tengri Climb
Led by Simon Yates of 'Touching the Void' fame. The striking pyramidal peak of Khan Tengri (6,995m) lies in the heart of the Tien Shan range of mountains, which span the borders of the independent states of Kazakhstan and Kirghizia, as well as China's Xinjang province. This mountain is the primary objective of this trip, but rather than go up and down it to acclimatise, we climb and traverse the peak Marble Wall (6,400m), which is also a fine climbing objective in its own right. |
