Damavand Trekking

Embark on a high-altitude adventure to Mount Damavand (5,671 m), the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East. This 9-day expedition combines physical challenge, cultural immersion, and the raw beauty of the Alborz Mountains. Damavand is not just a mountain – it’s a dormant volcano shrouded in Persian legend, known for its symmetrical cone shape and occasional sulfur steam vents near the summit.

Our route offers a carefully planned acclimatization schedule, ensuring a better chance of summit success and a safer experience. Along the way, you’ll explore vibrant Tehran, hike through stunning alpine terrain, and spend nights in authentic mountain huts. The journey is led by experienced local guides and a Slovenian trip leader, and includes international flights, all ground transfers, and meals during the trek. Whether you travel solo or in a group, you’re guaranteed a small-group experience without hidden fees – just pure, unforgettable adventure.

This expedition is designed for adventurers seeking to conquer a high-altitude peak in an exotic setting. Mount Damavand, located in northern Iran, is a prominent stratovolcano that towers above the Alborz range. Its symmetrical shape resembles Japan’s Mount Fuji, and it stands as a powerful symbol in Persian mythology.

Although technically non-demanding, the trek requires strong physical conditioning due to altitude challenges. Expect long days of hiking, early starts, and exposure to cold, thin air at over 5,000 meters. You’ll sleep in mountain huts and enjoy local hospitality in remote villages. Our route includes sufficient acclimatization hikes to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.

Off the mountain, experience the vibrant culture of Iran — from its friendly people and ancient history to Tehran’s bustling bazaar. This trip combines physical achievement with a rich cultural backdrop, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience in one of Asia’s most captivating destinations.
