Our helicopter landed in the middle of the glacier and dropped most of the people about half an hour of walking from BC (landing at BC landing place is not so safe maybe). |
A basecamp of Dostuk Trekking company (we arranged the helicopter with them). There are about 2 basecamps on this southern side of Southern Inylchek glacier (Khan Tengri side) and about 2 places of northern side (Peak Pobeda side). |
