A week's ascent of Mt Damavand, the highest mountain in Iran

Coming down from the summit of Mt Damavand

Damavand is a towering volcano just 45 miles northeast of Tehran, overlooking the southern shores of the Caspian Sea.

It is surrounded by the smaller and comparatively rugged peaks of the Elburz Range, but its great height and classic volcanic shape, unique to the region, grant it dominance and isolation. It provides a tough but rewarding climb and the view from the summit is an amazing panorama of Iran's vast expanse of mountains and valleys, fertile green slopes to the north and barren deserts to the south.

It is not a technical ascent in the season when we visit, and we add an extra day to the standard itinerary in order to aid acclimatisation.
