We’ve done it. We have booked our flights to Kyrgyzstan and there is no going back now! We are flying out of Edinburgh to Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, on the 31st August. This is the starting point of our trip to the mountains. We will have a couple of days in the city to sort out food, gas, last-minute logistics and enjoy hot showers.
From Bishkek we will drive for a day to reach Naryn. Another two days of driving and trekking with the assistance of pack horses up the Dzhilanach River will take us to our base camp in the heart of the Djenghi-Djer mountains. We’ll then have 19 days to acclimatise, find objectives and climb in the beautiful and remote mountains. Between then and now there is a lot to be done: plan logistics within Kyrgyzstan, apply for funding grants and sort out exactly what kit and supplies will be needed. We’ve got a busy few months ahead of us!
