Description
On this 40-day expedition, you will have the chance to conquer two incredible peaks in the Pamir Mountains, in Tajikistan: Korzhenevskaya (7,105m) and Communism Peak, now known as Ismoil Somoni (7,495m).
Along with Communism Peak and Korzhenevskaya, for the purpose of acclimatization, you will possibly also climb Chetjreh peak (6,200m), Vorobiev peak (5691m). Otherwise, we will carry out the acclimatization on Korzhenevskaya. This will depend on weather conditions and the group.
All of the peaks you will be climbing on this trip are located in the wild and majestic Pamir Mountains. This amazing mountain range covers a great deal of Central Asia. And while it may not be as well known as the Alps, the Andes, or the Himalayas, you can rest assured the climbing in the Pamir Mountains is nothing short of incredible. And on this amazing trip, you will get to climb the highest and third highest peaks in the range.
On the way, we will go to several different camps. Each one of these camps will allow you to enjoy amazing views of the Pamir Mountains and the landscape below. Furthermore, you will also get to enjoy scenic helicopter rides that will take you from Jirgital to the base camp and back.
The weather and snow conditions around Korzhenevskaya and Communism Peak are unpredictable. There are several acclimatization options that we can decide on once in the mountains. Furthermore, not everyone acclimatizes at the same pace, and snow conditions are difficult to predict. As a result, the itinerary detailed below is only a rough estimate. There is a distinct possibility that additional days could be necessary. Based on my experience, being flexible is the best way to succeed on the mountains.
It goes without saying that this is a challenging mountaineering program. Therefore, in order to participate, you should have prior mountaineering experience. You should also be in good physical condition.
Scaling 2 of the 3 highest mountains in the Pamir Mountains, is a treat for any mountaineer. To enjoy this experience, just send me a request and we will start planning an unforgettable ascent to Korzhenevskaya and “Communism Peak” in Tajikistan!
If you prefer a shorter program, you can also enjoy a week of mountaineering in Ala Archa in Kyrgyzstan.

Mountain Guide
I'm an IFMGA-certified guide from Kyrgyzstan and started guiding professionally in 2003. In my 14 years of guiding, I worked as a high altitude and technical mountain guide, trekking and hiking guide, ski-touring guide and ice and rock climbing gide.
I finished Mountaineering Instructor School in Kyrgyzstan and I am a member of the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide Association (KMGA).
Additionally, I am ”Snow Leopard”. This title is given to those who have climbed all the highest mountains in the former Soviet Union. These include: Lenin peak (7134 m) 2 ascents, Khan Tengri peak (7010 m) 2 ascents, Korzhenevskaya peak (7105 m) 1 ascent, Communism peak (7495 m)1 ascent, Pobeda peak (7439 m)1 ascent.
I have worked all over the Tian-Shan and Pamir ranges. I worked as a guide in Lyallak and Dugoba, in Alla Archa National Park and Suusamyr Valley, Terskey Ala Too and Kyngei-Ala Too.
As a mountain guide, my top 3 priorities are: 1 -safety, 2 –creating positive experiences for my clients and 3 -expedition success.
I am a mountaineer and really love the mountains so I also spend all my free time here. I have participated in expeditions in the Himalayas, Africa, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Patagonia and Russia.
I live and work in a beautiful mountainous country and I will be glad to show you the virgin beauty of the Kyrgyz mountains.

What people are saying about Anastasiya
Peter
Our mountaineering trip was very good. Anastasiya is very professional and safety concerned guide as well as a good teacher. Although the weather was very unstable and some plans couldn't be executed as planned, Anastasiya came up with good alternatives. We would definitely book this trip again.
Geza
We have ended up in Jyrgalan valley as Suusamyr was not feasible for making the skitouring trip. Nonetheless we enjoyed very much the trip and the guide: Anastasia was really resourceful in finding out the best possiblities. Was not easy task during the everchanging weather circumstances. In addition to that we always felt safe.
Thank you for showing us your wonderful country, guiding us safely through the mountains and teaching us so much about ski touring. Our eyes have been opened to future possibilities and we hope you can guide us again another time.
Eugene
We spent our time skiing in Jyrgalan as there was a lot more snow there than in Suusamyr Valley. Jyrgalan was fantastic - blue skies and deep powder! It was a truly remarkable few days. Our guide, Anastasiya, was excellent and she is highly recommended - friendly, good fun, highly knowledgeable (particularly in respect of managing avalanche risk) and extremely helpful.
Mathias
Had a wonderful 11-day trip with Anastasiya in the beautiful Ala Archa! This was my first mountaineering experience so this trip included a lot of courses in mountaineering and climbing skills. Anastasiya was a fantastic guide and was very good at keeping everything safe, fun and sufficient challenging. Would highly recommend her. Couldn’t think of a better introduction to mountaineering.
