A Spicy Mixture of Natural Beauty & Medieval Mystery
Top Sialan Mountain and Mount Damavand Climbing Tours 2024
An adventurous trek to the top of two of the most picturesque mountains of Iran, Sialan Mountain (4177m) (the highest summit in Qazvin Province) and the mythological Mount Damavand (5610m), will definitely be an exciting way to spend your vacation. Also explore the mysterious history and fascinating landmarks of the region as a side dish to the adventure: visit the beautiful Ovan lake and the mysterious Alamut Valley. You can also have an optional city tour of Tehran.
From the two common routes to summit the stunning Sialan, the northern route and the southern route, trek up the popular Southern route. For ascending Damavand, the highest volcano in the Middle East and the highest mountain in Iran with 16 routes leading up to its summit, the South face route which is the most unchallenging of the three most common routes will be taken. The two ascents are optimally joined in a single program so that Sialan provides the necessary acclimatization for a smooth climb of Mount Damavand.

The experience our operation team has had at the world’s top summits (in Pakistan, Nepal, South America, Russia, etc.) and the capacity they saw in Iran as a trekking destination motivated them to replicate the standard camps they’ve experienced on Mount Damavand.
As one of our strength for a Mount Damavand Trek, this camp is the only exclusive and internationally standard camp on Damavand’s least challenging and most popular route: the southern face route. This camp which is near Bargah-e Sevvom (around 150meter), is at a 4200-meter altitude. Up and running during Damavand’s high season, it can accommodate 30 mountaineers. Plus, every 2 mountaineers are offered one tent provided with foam and mattresses.
With us, you don’t need to worry about eating canned food! Because we have a professional cook at our camp who cooks dishes suitable for trekking for you. 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.
Because we deeply love and respect nature, we do our best not to damage mountains. So, we sort the waste, use solar energy panels, and 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.
