Damavand 5000 Shelter

 5000 Shelter Damavand 

Damavand Camp - Damavand 5000 Camp
The Damavand 5000 Shelter, unlike what its name might imply, was actually erected 4626 meters above sea level! The 5000-Shelter (lat: 35.9681°, lon: 52.1147°) is the highest refuge among the Damavand Camps, the huts, and shelters along the different roads going to Damavand peak. On the northern face, Damavand 5000 Refuge (also known as Jan-Panah 5000) is situated around 600 meters higher than the Damavand 4000-Shelter. The shelters resemble one another quite a little. The highest refugium can accommodate 15 to 20 climbers. It is functionally and suitably equivalent to the Jan-Panah 4000 and has two full levels.

Damavand Mountain North Face

Only the top floor of the Damavand 5000 camp, which is only about 1.8 meters high, has a wooden floor, though. Also, there isn't a proper stairs to climb, and it should be kept in mind that getting to the upper floor requires aid from others and is not at all straightforward, especially for shorter people. There are flat spots around Jan-Panah 5,000 shelter where fewer than ten tents can be spread out. The 5000 Shelter north of Damavand is covered in a variety of texts, graffiti, logos, signs, and advertisements. In the highlands, vandalism never seems to stop. Read more about Damavand.

Mule and Transportation

To get to the Big Stone (Lat: 36.0119°, Lon: 52.1205°), you can either take a 4WD off-road vehicle on a gravel road from the community of Nandel Village or walk there. Mules can transport bags to 4000-Shelter (Jan Panah 4000), however the price of each backpack (measured in tomans) changes every year owing to inflation. The last water source along Damavand's northern route is the Gosfandsara (sheepfold), which is located approximately three kilometers before the Big Rock and from which water may be taken. Of course, based on the situation, it may be able to collect water from the glacier and the 5000-Shelter peak (Jan-Panah 5000).
