Muztagh Ata means “Father of Ice Mountains” in the local languages Kazakh and Uigur, which are Turkish dialects. The massif of Muztagh Ata lies in the Kunlun Shan range on the high plateau in Western China, where nomadic herders line and tend their roving flocks. It is a vast mountain-massive, consisting of two summits; one is 7546m high, and the other is 7130m. The distance between them is 2 km. This program gives the possibility to ascent both summits from the same Base Camp of Muztagh Ata. According to the professional level of participants, it takes 15-20 days to reach the main summit. It is the second-highest peak in this range, and the world’s most accessible peak is above 7500 meters. Trek to the Base Camp sets us up for the climb and allows us to experience the diversity of the landscape and its people.
Mustagh Ata is one of the 50 highest peaks on earth and occupies an isolated location on the western edge of China’s Xinjiang Province. The approach to the mountain is by crossing the Khunjerab Pass. With the standard route following the gently angled southwest slopes, the mountain presents no tremendous technical problems, and success will depend on suitable weather conditions and a good acclimatization program. It’s not just a mountaineering expedition but also an epic journey into Central Asia, including a visit to Kashgar. This is the perfect trip for those who want to test themselves at altitude.
