The Dschengisch Tschokusu Kyrgyz: Жеңиш Чокусу; in China: Tomur Feng (Chinese托 木 尔 峰/托 木 尔 峰, Pinyin Tuōmù'ěr Feng ); also: Pik Pobedy or Peak Pobeda (Russian) is with 7439 meters the highest mountain in the Tian Shan and also the highest mountain in Kyrgyzstan. In addition, he is often referred to as the northernmost Seven thousand of the world. Geographically accurate but which is the more northerly Khan Tengri ( 7010 m), the height of which was, however, about 7000 meters proved beyond doubt only in recent years, which is why the well over 7000 meters high Dschengisch Tschokusu was often given this designation and in the travel and mountain literature is to this day often so called.

The Dschengisch Tschokusu is glaciated and lies on the border between Kyrgyzstan and the People's Republic of China, east of Lake Issyk Kul, about 15 km south of the second highest peak in the Tian Shan, the Khan Tengri ( 7010 m), the highest peak in until 1946 Tian Shan was held. The Chinese half of the mountain is located in the district of the district of Aksu Aksu Konaxeher in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and is dominated by Tomur Nature Reserve.

The first ascent was made probably in 1956 by a team of Vitaly Abalakow. It is not excluded that already on September 19, 1938 Leonid Gutman, Yevgeny Ivanov and Alexander Sidorenko stood on the summit. The first winter ascent succeeded Anatoly Bukrejew in February 1990.

The mountain is one of five lying on the territory of the former USSR seven thousand meters peaks. The snow leopard Medal is awarded to the climbers who have conquered all five summits.
