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

Damavand. From start with web page, e-mails to clarify before booking, booking, payment and, of course most important the tour itself, all was professional and highly hospitable. No problems or distressing events. The company's strengths are the combination between professionality, knowledge, being personal and flexibility according to wishes of guests. In my case, the possibility to instant add an extra day due to two days of bad weather made it possible to reach the summit. The company does not "cut edges" to save on food, transport, accommodation etc.
Especially, many thanks to my guide Ali for very pleasant company, encouragement and professional guiding! In addition to highly memorable days in the mountains, I really appreciated the hospitality, genuineness, culture and food of Iran. I hope that the future makes it possible to come for a new visit – if so, Cheetah is a starting point! read less

A country which surprises you at every turn, kind and open people, amazing culture, and of course, last but not least, experimented and professional guides. Thanks to a good acclimatisation, a walking pace adjusted to our group and well-organized camps, we all managed to climb to the top of Damavand. For most of us it was the highest altitude we’ve ever reached. So, thank you guys for showing us how beautiful your mountains and cities are. I really hope I’ll return someday to see more of your surprising country and climb some more mountains! read less

Ein Bekannter in Österreich gab mir den Kontakt zu Ali und seiner Firma. Über Whats App und Mail war schnell Kontakt hergestellt und Ali wusste was uns wichtig war. Er stellte uns eine passende Reise zusammen. 4 Tage am Berg mit erfolgreicher Besteigung des Damawand. (Herzlichen Dank nochmals an unsere umsichtigen und sehr engagierten Mountainguide!). Danach folgten 8 Tage Kultur mit Besichtigungen von Yazd, Shiraz, Isfahan,.. und vielem mehr! Herzlichen Dank an unsre drivingguide Dame Nas! Sie war wunderbar! Gesamt gesehen ist das preis/leistungsverhältnis stimmig und ich würde Alis Firma bedenkenlos weiter empfehlen! 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

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

In these days modern companies HR is using " Its all about people" . "The people makes the difference" and for the first time I have to tell, in Iran and with Cheetah gays it makes the sense. We haven't had not even a minor problem even in climbing 5700m where its possible everything to happen. In passing thousands of kilometers from Tehran to Shiraz and back to Yazd, Persepolis, Esfahan, Kasdah. This peaceful and friendly people are hidden from western society. The abundance of water in a desert, the channels that ancient Persians have made to the today generations are astonishing. The buildings and artistic expressions on the walls, architectural achievements in using air and water in the desert gives us the proofs the old Persians were ingenious in engineering. The Dear Ali, Mehrdad, Ghazal, Hamid, Sorush thank you for showing us that the world is not just USA nor Europe with its decadency and for remembering us how Yugoslavia was also special country. Don't give up of your tradition and peculiarities. Do not leave your beautiful country. Stay just as you are. read less
