Khan Tengri, Marble summit in Tian Shan range, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Khan Tengri rises to 7,010 meters, forming a perfect pyramid shape at the intersection of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China borders in the Tian Shan mountains.
The first successful climb to Khan Tengri's peak occurred in 1931 when Mikhail Pogrebetsky and his team established the southern route through challenging conditions.
The mountain's name translates to 'King of Heaven' in several Central Asian languages, reflecting its sacred status among local communities practicing Tengrism.
Climbers typically reach Khan Tengri during the short season from mid-July through August, requiring special border permits and helicopter access from Karkara base.
The mountain's marble composition creates a red glow during sunset, leading local inhabitants to refer to it as the Blood Mountain.
