Interest forums / Trekking & Mountaineering

Cheers buddies

We are thinking about visiting Kyrgyzstan this summer to climb Pk Lenin, normal route.

1. Is there cheap transport between Osh and the Base Camp ?

2. Is it possible to buy the climbing and borderzone permit in the Base Camp ??? What do they ask ? Does it still cost 105 USD per person ?

3. Do we need to bring a rope or are there fixed ropes on the steeper parts/crevassed parts ? Or could we hire it in the Base Camp ?

Thanks in advance !
