Hey guys!
We am looking at the option to do the Khan Tengri base camp trek hiking both ways without using the helicopter as we are not sure if we can get a one-way ride back without having a booked tour and guide. I have contacted the company but did not receive any reply, so I wanted to see if one of you guys have hiked both ways?
I read that landscape wise, it would be a bit boring for most hiking back the same way, but for me it does not matter, i would love mountain landscapes all the time even if I hike them back and forth multiple times.
We are both on the higher end in terms of speed and will have crampons with us, but no ice axe. As far as I read, ice axes and ropes are not needed, but hearing first hand from someone here would certainly help a bit with the planning.
Cheers,
Chris
