Itineraries FAQ 2 Mount Damavand Iran

Q- Our mountaineering team would like to stay in Iran for 9 days (and even more).
We have already sent some groups for Damavand climbing and our itineraries are different. I'm afraid that your version is too moderate and also we'd like to show more to our climbers.
Here are our programs and I'd like you to comment them please:

Day 1:
Early arrival to Tehran. Transfer to a 3* hotel. Free time for leisure, overnight.

Day 2:
Drive to Damavand south face. Trek to the first camp Goosfand Sara at 3000 m.

Day 3:
Trek up to 4000 m for acclimatization. Back to the 1st camp for dinner and overnight.

A- I think your suggested itineraries needs some modification, We recommend some changes to your program.

Day 1:
Generally speaking, flights arrive to Tehran after midnight, if we take them to their hotel, and if they go for the free time for leisure and sightseeing during the day, they may need to stay the second night at hotel too, it is better to take the climbers to the Camp1 Polour in the morning to have enough time for acclimatization.

Day 2:
We do not recommend Camp2 Base (Goosfand Sara) any more, because it is too crowded and too dirty and not suitable for foreign climbers. Read more in Camp2 Base and Warning.

Day 3:
It is much better to trek up to 4250m and stay overnight in Camp3 New Hut, two nights at camp3 to save their energy and give them better acclimatization to increase their chance of success on the summit day.
