Best Lenin Peak Climbing Guides 2025

We traveled to Lenin Peak and Ak-Sai was our local logistics company. The base camp for climbing Lenin Peak is very well structured. The tents are comfortable, with mattresses, some with beds. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have hot water. The food is tasty and varied. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available, which is rare on the mountain. The camp is very well located, close to the start of the trail that leads to Lenin Peak. From the camp we have a beautiful view of Lenin Peak.

Really poor internet and email communication with tourists from Europe and the UK. Only really cater for Russians, there mountaineering service on the edge of being outright dangerous, The Russian guides are completed inept, they totally rely on the Nepalese porters/guides, who they treat like dirt. I would not recommend climbing Lenin Peak with them, unless you have fully climatized at 6000 first. Hire your own Nepalese guide, before entering the region. The main reason for this recommendation, is that each level/stage they take you too are much higher than the normal mountaineering guidelines and do bring on altitude sickness. Make sure you filter all the water they provide as. As it isn't ok to drink without being filtered Don't eat any salads. Stick to hot, well cooked food. When I was there, I was very sick after five days with a tummy bug, which ended my trek. In the same period two people died, a Russian lady died of cerebral edema and at base camp and an Iranian man fell off a rope in the mountains. Your putting your live in the hands of these people, who don't really care about you, There only interested in your US dollars!!!
