Climbing program in Ala-Archa area.
Ala Archa Mountaineering Camp is located in the gorge
with the same name, 45 km south from the capital city
of Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), at the altitude of 2100 m in a
broad and rather spacious part of Ala Archa gorge. Ala
Archa means “colorful juniper” in Kyrgyz. The name is
given for the abundant juniper bushes and trees growing
on the slopes of Ala Archa gorge.
The gorge is situated in the central, the highest area of
Kyrgyz Ridge (Tien Shan Mountains). This area is
occupied by the glaciers stretching 200 km along the
ridge. One of the spurs lying to the north from the ridge is the most attractive for the expert
mountaineers as it is considered to be the highest in the region. Here are located such peaks as
Dvurogoya Peak (4380 m), Korona Peak (4860 m) and Semenov Tien Shanskiy Peak (4875 m) (the last is
the highest in the ridge). There are most difficult routes (5th) in At the distance of 4-5 hours trekking
from the mountaineering camp on the way to Ak Sai glacier at the altitude of 3400 m there is a hut
which is called “Light House” and Ratseka camping. This is the most convenient place for the base camp
in the area. Ratseka place is very warm and comfortable for relaxing after ascents. You also may stay in
the hut itself. All the most attractive peaks in the area are situated quite close to that base campthe
area.
