Khan Tengri - Tien Shan Alpenverein 0/15

Exceptionally detailed and informative topographic map at 1:100,000 of the Inylchek area in the Tien Shan Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, prepared by the German Alpine Club using data from the Kyrgyz national survey organization plus satellite imagery.

Topography is shown by contours at 50m intervals with relief shading, plus numerous spot heights and peak names. Colouring and graphics indicate different types of vegetation (woods, meadows, swampy grassland, etc.) and soil cover (rocky outcrops, individual isolated rocks with height, caves, moraine, glaciers, etc.). Passes are classified according to the difficulty of traverse. Rivers and creeks indicate their width.

The map shows local roads (paved, country lanes, dirt roads and forest tracks) and footpaths, as well as settlements and isolated buildings, bridges passable by vehicles or on foot, fuel and water tanks, etc. Assent and descent routes, base camp and possible camp sites are highlighted. The map has a UTM grid with latitude and longitude margin ticks at 5'' intervals. Map legend is in English, German and Russian. Also included are tri-lingual notes on using this map with GPS units.

The map also includes two panels which provide more detailed mapping at 1:40,000 of:

- Pik Pobedy (Jengish Chokosu / Tomur Feng) area with routes to the main summit from both sides of the border, plus the Kyrgyz route to the west summit.

- Khan Tengri (Kan-Too Chokusu / Hantengri Feng) summit with routes in all three countries.
