Khan Tengri is a pyramidal peak on the Tien Shan, located on the border of three countries: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and China. Its unusually beautiful shape and pink-red overflow of the marble facade at sunset charmed and attracted people since ancient times. You can climb to the summit from the north or from the south – from the Inylchek camps, all routes are technically difficult; avalanches and icefalls are characteristic for this area.
Climbing is associated with big risks, so you need to be prepared physically and psychologically.
