Itinerary description
This is a nice hike to Peak Zhelenkovoy. You can do it in one day. However, we took our time and camped on the ridge. The camp is impressive even for Kyrgyz standards. The view was absolutely breathtaking. I indicated it as waypoint. But it is also on openstreetmap.
Only the last 200m meters of altitude before the peak are a little gnarly. You can also go straight up. However, this is a bit steeper and you have to climb a little. The easier way is around the peak.
Unlike us, you can also start or end the hike in Alamedin valley. Have a look at openstreetmap and you will see what I mean.
My recommendation: Do the track in two days and camp on the ridge. You wont regret it!
