Mornings were sunny and blue skied, and the scenery got progressively amazing and otherworldly as we approached Damavand . The trails were almost empty due to the end of summer , but it really paid off for us .
Damavand finally emerged in glorious sunshine. It really felt like the perfect trip.

Our guide ALI from CHEETA ADVENTURE looked after us superbly. The increases in altitude were managed perfectly, with one acclimatization day in the 2 days to Damavand . This was particularly reassuring when we met at least two or three groups who were escaping to lower levels sick from the altitude ! The pace was also spot on as we never felt overly tired (we were fit) or rushed.

Our guide ALI was a fountain of knowledge having done the trek for many years. He looked after our safety at the more hairy bits, being careful we knew where the path was loose or slightly precarious. We felt we were good friend by the end of the trip and were really sad to say goodbye. Thank you ALI for such an amazing trip! Our porter was also great company and we had a lot of fun in their company. 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

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

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

The team who was guiding us to the Damavand had a lot of experience which helped us all climb this height. After climbing we have had a cultural tour (visit of Teheran, Isfahan, Yazd...) which we would hardly get if we took some regular tourist agency. Team had showed as all important point and most important for me showed us and spoke a lot about local culture, history and people. This helped me a lot to get to know the country and people much better and already plan my next visit of the rest of Iran. All in all, great experience and experienced and kind team to guide us. read less

There are so many things to see in Iran, great country, and my biggest impression are very friendly people. 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

Chances were that the weather wouldn't be optimal to do the trekking, but we decided to go for it. Ali from Cheetah Adventures informed us very well before the trip about what we could expect.

We had an amazing time. We couldn't climb Damavand until the summit because of heavy snow and winds, but nonetheless it was a crazy experience. Guide Ali just went with me and my wife and it was very cosy. He is a very experienced climber/mountaineer, so we trusted him all the way.
