DAY 2. Drive to Achik Tash base camp on a grassy meadow amongst alpine flowers at circa 3 800m (9 hour drive).
 
DAY 3. Preparation of equipment and acquaintance with terrain.
 
DAYS 4 - 19. The program for these days is flexible and with one guide per 2 or 3 group members we can operate as smaller groups if necessary.

The process of ferrying will serve several purposes: acclimatization, fitness and the building up of adequate supplies for the final push.
