This location is a vital checkpoint for climbers and hikers before they make their ascent, providing basic necessities and shelter.

As the most popular and accessible starting point for Mount Damavand, this camp offers essential facilities, including a mountain refuge, the Saheb al-Zaman Mosque, and a sheepfold. Sitting at an elevation of 3,040 meters, with coordinates of Latitude 35.9020° and Longitude 52.1094°, it’s the primary base camp for climbers on the south route, especially during the summer.
