Mt Damavand is a popular tourism attraction in summer, climbing season generaly starts early June, to be more precise it starts on 3rd June due to a major 2 days public holiday plus a long weekend in Iran. In order to meet the least crowd problem, it is recommended to keep away form this mountain from 3 to 5 June 2010, because all the camps are crowded and there are big traffic jams on the Haraz road leading to the area.
