Overview

Tour overview

Located in the central part of Alborz Mountain range, Mt. Damavand (5610 m) is the most prominent natural feature of Iran looming majestically near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Damavand is the highest peak of Iran and Middle East and is a semi-active volcanic mountain with an iced-caped summit crater. This mountain is the symbol of stability in the Iranian culture and enjoys a good reputation in Persian literature and mythology.

 

Best Time to Climb Damavand Peak

One of the most important things about any of the world’s highest peaks is the temperature at different times of the year. This important point can have a huge impact on the performance of climbers. During spring, from April to the end of May, Mt. Damavand has a very stormy weather with snowfall, which is very dangerous for climbing. It can be said that the best and most attractive time to climb Damavand peak is from the middle of June to the end of July, because during these months there is a relative stability of the weather. From the end of July to the first of October, Damavand enjoys a relatively stable weather and less snow, and the glacier zones get more stable. Also, there is a lack of water in the slopes. From the beginning of October to the end of March, Damavand Mountain has unstable and stormy weather, with heavy volume of snow on the slopes. No running water can be found in the mountains during these months.
