This Damavand tour includes a precise acclimatization plan mostly suitable for those who don’t need to spend much time adapting to high altitudes.

Additional Information

Damavnd Trekking Routes:

The southern route is the most well-known of all. This route for trekking mount Damavand is mostly chosen because of its facilities such as the hut located at 4200 meters, with electricity, toilets and beds available, and its ease, omitting the need for ropes and gears. However, other routes such as the northern and western ones are more difficult and there aren’t any suitable huts available. read more about Damavand Trekking Routes.

Damavand Weather condition:

June to September is the best time to conquer mount Damavand. During this period the weather is mostly good and snow/ rain scarcely falls. However, our guides are committed to checking the weather prior to each program. In case of an unpredicted bad weather extra days will be added to your Damavand tour. read more about Damavand’s weather conditions.

Damavand Trekking Acclimatization and Preparation:

Our acclimatization program is resulted from years of experience in guiding various types of people through their hike and is set to be suitable for people living in locations that are near sea level high. But even people who haven’t experienced more than 3000m of height won’t have any issues during their journey.

Our Damavand Tour Guides:

Our guides are qualified mountain climbers with years of experience in leading tours and a history of conquering 7000/8000 meter high peaks in Himalaya mountain range in their resume.

In addition to their experience and thorough knowledge of mountain routes, our guides have taken multiple courses in rescuing and first aid to assure our fellow mountain climbers’ safety throughout the trek. read more about Cheetah-Adventures’ mountain guides.

Adventure of a Lifetime Been dreaming about visiting Iran and climbing my first 5 thousander for quite some time. I knew it was just a matter of time and finding the right people to help us turning our dream into reality. And then we found them: Cheetah Adventure team.First of all, thanks to Ali, the head of the team, who helped us with our visa and organised our trip. He was patient enough to answer all our questions prior the trip.Deep respect to Ashkan and Mehrdad our mountain guides. Without their tips and assistance our team wouldn't be able to summit Damavand (5610m) so easily. So even if you are an experienced hiker, do not attempt to climb this giant without these people. They do know the mountain, more than anyone.Thanks to Mohammad and Mehrdad who guided us in concrete jungles of Tehran and Isfahan. Showing us the most important and amazing sights, leading us through narrow passages in bazaars, introducing us the tastiest local dishes. Last but not least, I'm extremely grateful to our skillful and experienced drivers. They were life- savers, for sure.Going Back? Definitely! Iran has so much to offer! See you in Persian Gulf ... Let's see what's in the depth of the crystal clear waters...

Best weekend in Iran We wanted to thank Ali and Mehdad for their hospitality, professionalism, loyalty to their work and awesome memories. First of all Ali helped us to get a visa in a matter of two days, which is crazy fast. Without getting any money in advance because there was a problem with transactions from our side. He did it based on pure trust. Then already in a country we accidentally left our passports in Teheran, cause of the hotel’s policy, they take your passport while you stay there, and after being checked out walking around in different city, we remembered about such a tiny thing like your passport being left out in another country, Ali helped to resolve this problem too. Which we were really grateful for. Besides all the views and all the history. It was top-notch. The most memorable trip abroad so far, thank you guys for everything. We’re hoping to come back and will try to repeat the adventure with you. Sorry for the delayed review. Hope to see you soon ???? Jane and Kseniia

Iranian culture trip Our trip to Iran could not have been better prepared and organized. My husband and I traveled with our 6 year old daughter for the last 3 weeks during a time of change in Iran. As part of our family has a US passport, we had great support by Ali to make sure our Visas are processed accordingly. It was not easy but it all worked out with Ali’s help.Ali and his guides Farid and Mousse took great care of us and were very knowledgeable about the history and places we visited. We did not feel as normal tourists on this trip but we were treated as friends and family throughout the entire time of our trip. The Iranian people are warm, welcoming and extremely friendly. They are proud of their heritage, their long world history and the normal people on the streets are just beautiful - inside out!Obviously, change is going to happen in Iran. We listened to the peoples stories, wishes, dreams and desires. They are all ready for the world to embrace them and take them in as equal partners and friends. Our heart is with the Iranian people.

What level of physical fitness is required to climb Mount Damavand?

The level of physical fitness necessary to climb Mount Damavand depends on various factors such as your current level of physical fitness, experience in being at high altitudes, the length of your Damavand trekking tour, and the amount of time that will be spent trekking each day of the tour. Generally speaking, if you can afford 10 hours of hiking a day you can conquer the summit following the provided acclimatization plan and your mountain guide's tips. You can contact our professional mountain guides at Cheetah-Adventures for any questions regarding Mount Damavand, trekking, and medical matters. You can also get more information reading the article about Damavand Difficulty.

Can I rent the Damavand trekking equipment or do I have to bring them ?

Providing trekking equipment and clothes is not a service included in any of our Iran trekking tours. However, you can rent some of the equipment you don't have or can't bring from us. It's recommended to use your own trekking boots to make sure you're comfortable but you can rent other equipment such as sleeping bags, ground cloths, trekking poles, and clothes ( if available in your size). You can request the equipment you don't have after checking the list of necessary equipment for a Damavand trekking tour on our website.

Which of the Damavand trekking routes is the easiest?

The southern route is the easiest Damavand trekking route due to many factors such as having a gentle slope, being non-technical, and having many facilities at the Damavand camps on this route. The northeastern route is the second easiest Damavand trekking route. You can also find detailed information about Damavand trekking routes reading the Mount Damavand Page.

Will I have access to cellphone signals and WI-FI during my trek up to Damavand peak?

Yes, you'll have access to a cellphone ( mobile phone) signals up until near Damavand peak. You can ask Cheetah-Adventures for a portable Wi-Fi modem as a complimentary service. We recommend you focus on enjoying your Damavand trek on the summit day and don't worry about staying connected. Your guide can contact the camp using both his mobile phone and a walkie-talkie in case of emergencies.

What should women wear while climbing Mount Damavand?

Women can dress freely while at Mount Damavand. They can wear trekking pants, t-shirts and caps. However, a certain dress code applies to women when in the city while traveling in Iran. You can get complete information on Iran dress code Page.

What happens if the weather is unstable on the Damavand summit day?

Our experts will check the weather in advance and inform you if it will be unstable during your Damavand trekking tour; however, the weather is usually stable during summer when our Mount Damavand tours are performed. In addition, we normally include a back-up day ( reserved day ) to our Iran trekking tour itineraries in case such problems occur. You can also ask for an extra day during your Damavand trekking tour with an extra charge if it's not included in your tour package.

How can I get an Iran visa for my Iran trekking trip ? How much does it cost? How long does the process take?

Obtaining an Iran visa normally takes around two weeks for citizens of most countries. The process takes between about 2 months and sometimes more for passport holders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada (ABC nationals). Visa services are included in our Mount Damavand trekking tour packages. If you're not traveling with us, you can request a visa service or apply for it on your own.
