Tahran Hotels:

Anatolian Adventures is booking the rooms from 3 or 4 star hotels in Tahran, located in the center of the city.

Cooking Service

On Mount Damavand our cooks will provide you best available food on a mountain with at least 4 course menus and teatime after all meals. We take care of the international tastes and vegetarians in all our cooking facilities. If you are vegeterian or have any other special desire to be much comfortable with food, please inform the office staff in advance or the climbing guide the day you arrive to Dogubeyazit.

Mules / Horse Support

During the treks up to the camps and down, Anatolian Adventures guarantees you load support with horses, limited by 20kg per person. Not to damage your own duffel bags and a nice present to you from us, we give each of our clients a 90 liter Anatolian Adventures duffel bag for the mountain kits as a Gift. In winter ascents we use porters for the support. This is much more expensive than the horse support and Please NOTE that Anatolian Adventures may demand some part of the costs extra from the participants due to the unexpected weather and snow situation.
