Damavand Mount tour FAQ

  • Who will join me in my Damavand Tour?

An English-speaking expert mountain guide will join you on your Damavand trip. Our mountain guides have been very carefully chosen; these guides know this mountain’s trek like the lines in the palms. They have been climbing up and coming back down this trek for years. And they know how to acclimatize in an optimized Damavand tour like this one.

This is not an easy question to answer. Depending on the weather and your physical abilities, the answer might vary. Our local mountain experts, however, will use their best planning and execution abilities to make your Damavand trip fun as well as successful. You might be interested to know that in summers, all of our attempts to climb the Damavand are carried-out successfully.

  • What season is a good time to climb Damavand Mount? How about high and low seasons?

Starting from June to the beginning of October, when the weather is warm and nearly always without precipitation, is a great time to go on a Damavand tour. And during these five months, most of the climbers attempt to summit the giant. However, from the end of October, it starts to get cold and less and less climbers try to climb Damavand mount. There is a lot of snow during low-season. It also is very cold; so you will need proper equipment as well as a good amount of experience. Contact us for more information regarding executing a tour during the cold season.

  • For my Damavand tour, do I have to bring all the equipment with me?

You can actually leave your equipment back home. Here, at our office in Tehran, we have all kind of climbing equipment that you can rent. It’s a good idea to leave your heavier/larger equipment and just simply rent from us; your comfort in Damavand tour will take up a notch. Contact us if you want to ask for a specific item.

Depending on many factors, it usually varies from 3 to 5 days. Your level of fitness for an activity such as Damavand tour also plays an important role. This 3 to 5 days range holds true during temperate weather. In less than ideal weather, and if you need more days of acclimatization, your Damavand tour will extend to more days. We have 4 days Damavand tour named “Classic Damavand Tour“.  Contact us if you want to add more days to your Damavand trip.
