Highly recommended: All tourists should have medical insurance for the particular activities with a minimum coverage of USD 35 000.
Skobelev peak (5051m) is located in Kichik-Alay Valeey (Small Alayi from Kyrgyz language). The proposed itinerary is easy technically and does not require climbing experience. The programme is interesting for people who would like to enjoy virgin nature and to feel power and beauty of Pamir mountains. You will not meet big tourist groups here, the area is rear visited, because arrangement of approach, food and other staff supply is complicated here. The main part of itinerary goes at the altitude 2800m - 4000m; so, acclimatization is important for participants. Declared difficulty level is 1A-1B according to Russian (Soviet) classification. Crossing of the mountain passes and fast rivers will make your journey exciting. Have a fun and enjoy your adventures!
