Our operation team has always seen Iran with a lot of capacity to become a great destination for mountaineering. So, trekking on the world’s top summits (in Pakistan, Nepal, South America, Russia, etc.) and being accommodated in standard camps inspired them to replicate those camps on Mount Damavand and Mount Sabalan.
Of our strength for a Damavand and Sabalan Trek is the standard camps we offer at Damavand’s southern face route and Sabalan’s southeastern route. The first, located near Bargah-e Sevvom (around 150meter), is at a 4200-meter altitude. The second, on Sabalan’s less crowded and more scenic route, is at a 3700-meter altitude. Up and running during trekking high season, they can both shelter 30 mountaineers and offer every 2 of them one tent provided with foam and mattresses.
In our Damavand and Sabalan exclusive camps, you don’t need to worry about eating canned food! The professional cooks we have at these camps cook you dishes suitable for trekking. Beside the freshly cooked lunch and dinner, a variety of breakfast and snacks are also available. A vegan or vegetarian? Just let us know and leave everything to us.
We deeply love and respect mountains. So, we do our best not to damage them. That’s why we sort the waste, use solar energy panels, and do our best to leave no human damage or trace on the environment after we’re gone.
Join us on a one-day city tour to visit the National Museum, Golestan Palace (UNESCO), the Treasury of National Jewels (open Sat.-Tue., replaced with a visit to the Grand Bazaar on other days) and the Carpet Museum of Tehran.
