Overview
An adventure trip to the roof of Iran, Damavand Mount with altitude of 5609 m; ascending the conical stratovolcano from southern ridge.
In this trip we ascend from southern ridge of Damavand mount. In southern ridge hiking starts from mosque (Goosfandsara 2900 m) with a light backpack and extra stuffs will be carried by mules. There is an equipped hut in 4250 where you can have suitable area for camping, having facilities like lavatory and a small shop.
All the way we enjoy a gentle slope and good path that helps you have a better acclimatization and you won’t need any belay, rope, ice axe or crampon.
