Welcome to Damavand!

This wonderful 5671 mtrs high peak in Iran can be conquered within 4 days, we are adding one buffer day just in case weather changes and would not allow us to reach the summit at the first attempt. Proper acclimatization is a key to success here, we will use all possible precautions to assure everyone gets to the top.
Our dormant volcano is located in the central part of Alborz Mountain Range in north of Iran on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. It height makes it the highest volcano in Asia, the highest summit in the Middle East and the second highest volcano in the northern hemisphere.
Level of difficulty: peak day is hard: 10-12 hours at high altitude. Reaching the base camp on day 2 at 4200 mtrs is a nice and very pleasurable hike. Climbing is technically easy however due to the altitude, requires a good physical fitness. The main challenge of the ascend is acclimatization and the weather.
Trekking in summer is comparable to Kilimanjaro, Damavand has a very similar profile.
