Brief description of the route

The peak "Ob'edinennykh natsiy" is located in the Ugam ridge (Western Tian-Shan), southwest of the peak "Sayram" — the highest point in the area.

From the city of Chimkent, take the asphalt road to the settlement of Kaska-Su and then continue on the dirt road along the Sayram-Su river to the base camp (see the map of the area).

From the base camp, follow a good trail along the Kergely river for 3 hours and 30 minutes to reach the overnight stay location near the upper lakes.

The approach to the start of the route takes 3 hours, walking along a wide moraine leading to the "Ob'edinennykh natsiy" pass. Then, head right to the saddle between the peak "Slovakia" and the peak "Ob'edinennykh natsiy" to the start of the route.

The descent from the summit is to the left, along the ledges, through the "Ob'edinennykh natsiy" pass, down to the upper lakes.
