More About Mount Damavand Trekking:
Nestled in the heart of Iran, you’ll find Mount Damavand, waiting for you. It really is a magical peak and has special significance for Iranian people both from a mythical and a geographical sense.
At 5610 meters, it is Iran’s highest mountain and for this reason, it’s often known as the “Roof of Iran”. It’s also the highest natural point in the Middle East and the highest volcano in Asia. This fact gains the peak entry to the Volcanic Seven Summits club, a group of the highest volcanoes in each continent. It’s so iconic in Iran that you can even find an image of it on the back of the Iranian 10,000 rials banknote.
In Iranian mythology, there is a legend that says a three-headed dragon called Aži Dahāka resides on the mountain and is destined to remain there until the end of time.
How and when you attempt the climb will impact your experience so it’s important to do your research before you set out. Trekking Damavand is no easy feat. It’s comparable to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. So, getting to the top is an achievement of your physical and mental strength.
This peak is situated in the Lar National Park in the Mazandaran province of Iran. It’s roughly 80 km northeast of Tehran in the Alborz Mountains and 70 km south of the Caspian Sea.
Getting there from the Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran will take a little over two hours via Route 7 and Route 77. There are shuttles that go between the two locations and your guide will normally assist you with this. You can also get a taxi.
There is a lot of beautiful nature to be seen here, so if you wish you can add more days to your trek. One great option is to visit the Abe Garm Larijan hot springs in a nearby Lar Valley village. There you can rest your tired legs and experience the local culture.
