Where is mount Damavand?
Mount Damavand is the highest volcano peak in Asia. Mazandaran province is home to this beautiful stratovolcano. It is not far from Tehran, and you can easily have a view of it from any stand-point in Tehran. For Iranians, it is the symbol of nature. In Persian mythology, it is the most valued landscape.
“Wonderiran” offers you a comfortable and secure climb to the Mount Damavand Summit. We schedule five days of joy in the circuit of the less crowded path.
What’s The Travel Itinerary?
Day 1: Drive via Haraz to Nandal
One of the most famous roads in Iran is the Haraz Road (Road 77). This beautiful road leads to forests, landscapes, waterfall villages and marvelous mountains. We reach Nandal village. Nandal Plain is in the North face of peak and Nandal village is the base camp of Damavand. Here we will have some snacks and drinks. You can enjoy the view, blend in the atmosphere, and rest.
Day 2: Ascending to Advanced Camp
We start the day early. After breakfast, we drive for 5 km with off-road pickups to reach the starting point at an altitude of 2700 m. Mules will handle your luggage. With 5-6 hours of trekking, we reach Advanced Camp. This is the altitude of 4350 m. This is the northeastern front of Damavand. It is the last residency for climbers. We perform some exercise and we dine together.
Day 3: Acclimatization day
This is essential for every pro hiker. In acclimatization day, we reach an altitude of 4850 m in half a day. Your body, breathing, and circulation syncs in the path leading to the summit. Then we return back to the Advanced Camp.
*Note: in case of bad weather condition, we take this day off
Day 4: Day of summit
We trek early in the morning. In tandem, as a group, we gently climb to reach the summit. Here you can visit Damavand’s caldera and the old crater of the volcano. Hot Sulfur gas emerges, as Damavand breathes through the day. We head back to the Advanced camp. This adventure takes 12 hours to complete and you deserve to rest and a fine dinner to recover.
Day 5: Descending down, and drive back to Tehran
This is your last day. We circle back to the starting point. All your luggage arrives with you by mules. After reaching the base camp, we will have lunch. We start driving back to Tehran and we say farewell to Damavand.
