@globaltraces: POV: You need to spend time acclimating to the altitude before heading up to Ak-Baital pass and the two spots you choose turn out to be some of the most epic locations you’ve yet visited. 🤯 If you are in this corner of Kyrgyzstan, you absolutely must drive to Tulpar Lake and then to Lenin Peak. Words can’t describe the stunning natural beauty on offer and the Lenin Peak track especially (@ountravela route 24) is 👌 Add it to your list and DO NOT MISS IT. Quick fact: Lenin Peak stands at 7134m and is one of the easiest mountains over 7000m to climb. Renamed to Lenin Peak in 1928, if you were looking at it from the Tajikistan side you’d be calling it Ibn Sina Peak or Avicenna Peak. In 2017 the Kyrgyz President called for it to be renamed Manas Peak after the hero Manas that united the forty tribes of Kyrgyzstan (which is why the sun on the Kyrgyz flag 🇰🇬 has forty rays) but there is already a Manas Peak in Kyrgyzstan so it didn’t stick. #expeditiontruck #overlandtravel #overlandtruck #kurgyzstan🇰🇬 #adventuretruck @Double Coin tires @koveredUK @MAN Truck & Bus UK
