I can’t thank Ali (Cheetah’s co-founder and CEO) and Mehrdad (Cheetah’s CXO) – both very experienced mountain guides – enough for this trip!After two days of acclimating and trekking up to Bargah-e Sevom – the southern shelter at 4200m – we decided to approach the summit the following day. Despite variable weather conditions, which are expected in early June, we pushed through and reached the summit before noon. Ali and Mehrdad, through their immense experience, ensured a safe journey all the way up (and down). I highly recommend this trek to anyone wanting to explore higher terrain, as the atmosphere up there is truly magical, and I couldn’t think of better people to experience it with.In the evening, we enjoyed the hot springs in nearby Larijan village and were treated to some of the best kebabs I had tasted during my time in Iran. read less

Mehrdad as our guide we had a wonderful trip. Highly recommend this company whether you are a very experienced hiker or not Mehrdad assessed our abilities and made sure we didnt push ourselves too hard as we reached higher altitudes. He ensured we were well fed and that we had lots of high sugar snacks for the final push to the summit which were essential. He anticipated all of our needs and was fantastic company. It was a very memorable trip. read less

Cheetah-Adventures managed to organize perfectly expedition to Damavand and cultural tour as well.
We went to Mount Tochal above Tehran, visited village of Rineh and had an excellent acclimatization which enabled a whole group of 24 members to reach the Damavand summit. It was unforgettable experience. Damavand is a magical mountain with stunning views, beautiful nature, red flowers and pleasant herbal smell.
The rest of our visit was dedicated to cultural tour of Tehran and Isfahan. Carefully planned and leaded tour through history up to modern Iran sights was organized by Cheetah-Adventures agency.
We highly recommend traveling with Cheetah-Adventures - a group of young professionals and especially with our guide Ali. read less

After researching our options, having a totally strong phone conversation with Ali, we booked with Cheetah. Ali was able to give advice on everything. Before we arrived, I had read all the media reports about Iran, but when I arrived, we were very impressed how normal Tehran was. We could have been in any major city in the world. In fact, we thought Tehran felt safer than most cities. We decided to join the two-day Damavand expedition. Ali, our guide, had years of experience and we never had the feeling that we would not be successful in reaching the summit. After Damavand we spent several days in Tehran, Ban, Shiraz, Yazd, Isfahan.
If you want to take a look behind the scenes, Cheetah is the right company. I can only warmly recommend ALI and his team and Iran in general. read less

It was easy for me to fit in as a solo traveller and join a group trekking Mount Damavand. I was so impressed with their mountaineering expertise, great communication and support for every member of the group. Iran in general was one of the most intriguing countries that I have visited. I felt safe and welcomed as a young female traveller every step of the way. Many thanks to Cheetah Adventures for facilitating it for me! read less

Mit unser ambitionierten Planung in nur wenigen Tagen die meisten der bedeutenden Sehenswürdigkeiten auf Qeshm (die Mangroven, die Geopärke und die Korallen der Nachbarinsel Hengam) zu erkunden schafften wir es mit Alis Organisationstalent und seinen Kontakten zu lokalen Partnern sehr gut auch spontan – jeweils dem Wetter und den Umständen angepasst – die Tage optimal zu nutzen. Am Ende der Reise bleibt der gute Gefühl, neben den zielgerichteten Besuchen der beeindruckenden Natur-Sehenswürdigkeiten, auch die große Gastfreundschaft, die besondere Kultur im Süden Irans und die regionalen kulinarischen Spezialitäten (auf Qeshm vor allem Fischgerichte) sehr unkompliziert und schnell kennengelernt zu haben. Für die nächste Reise in Iran wird Cheetah Adventures auf jeden Fall der erster Ansprechpartner sein – dann vielleicht für eine längere Tour in der Wüste oder den Bergen. read less

Les petits problèmes (semelles décollées, maux de tête) ont pu être réglés facilement grâce à Ali et notre guide Mehrdad dont la compétence et l'expérience rendent les choses très simples. On garde un souvenir génial! Je n'hésiterais pas à m'adresser à nouveau à eux pour un tour en Iran. Merci encore à eux! read less

It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience and one of the most challenging yet fascinating things I've ever done in my life.
Our guide was a professional alpinist who knew the way pretty well. His great sense of humor was also a blessing throughout the tiring moments to the summit. I had an amazing time and recommend Cheetah Adventures Group to anyone who is keen to discover Iran more thoroughly. read less
