Takht Fereydon Shelter

 Takht Fereydon Shelter
At 4,380 meters above sea level, Takhte Fereydoun Shelter is situated on the Damavand north-east route. Twenty to twenty-five climbers can stay in this Damavand Camp, and tents can be set up all around it. A small spring (water from the snowmelt) on the shelter's northern side serves as the summertime water source for climbers. There are two floors.

Lat: 35.9665°, Lon: 52.1341°, Alt: 4,380 m

Trekking Damavand from the eastern trail, for the most part, the rocks, snow, and ice cover the summit trail as it ascends. After passing through the Gardaneh-Sar and the beginning of the northeast ridge, there is a clear footprint, and it takes about 6 hours to ascend to Takhte Fereydoon shelter (lat: 35.9665°, lon: 52.1341°). There are two places along the path where you can use the snowmelt water, but if you're not used to drinking water from snow, it's best to avoid doing so.

Takht Fereydon Campsite
The last place where water may be taken from the glaciers is 100 meters away, on the slope leading to Takht-e Fereydun shelter. The shelter is located on the Yakhar glacier's edge. Near the shelter,  tents might be erected. Takht Fereydoun shelter is a good place to set up camp and spend the night. The region has both water (snowfall) and wind protection on the refuge's ridge; but, in the morning, one must climb a challenging slope to reach Damavand top.

Damavand Attraction in the Northeast
The northeast face's innate beauty is well acknowledged. It has plenty of water and plants. In addition to being more difficult to access than other slopes of Damavand, its protection from hunters has made it a haven for endangered species. These elements combined to form a pristine land on the northern face.

Damavand 4000 Shelter


4000 Shelter Damavand
North Face of Mount Damavand Shelter 4000
Since it was built at a height of 4,000 meters, the first shelter along Mount Damavand's northern path is known as the "Damavand 4000 Shelter." This Damavand camp can support up to 20 climbers under ideal conditions. The metal shelter structure, which was constructed on the Damavand's north face ridge, remains unequipped. It is open to strong winds. Water is extracted from glaciers on both sides of the ridge, although during the summer, the glaciers are vulnerable to rock slides. In general, the 4000-Shelter (lat: 35.9782°, lon: 52.1112°, alt: 3,996 m) is a better option for climbing Damavand in the winter.


Damavand 4000 Shelter
Mount Damavand North Face Route

Climbing Guide for the Damavand North Route
Climbing Damavand from the northern face is one of the trickiest ascent routes. The north face's summer basecamp is located at the Big Rock, which is five kilometers from the Nandal Village (latitude: 36.0303°, longitude: 52.1740°, elevation: 2350 m) and marks the end of the Nandal plain. The Great Stone, located in latitude 36.0119, longitude 52.1205, and elevation 2,920 meters, is the starting point from which you will climb to a height of 5,670 meters. You can save time and, of course, climb more efficiently by taking a rental off-road vehicle from the settlement of Nandal to the Big Rock.

Mule and Porter 
Similar to the northeast approach, climbers can hire a mule to carry their backpacks on the Damavand north side, which is quite beneficial. The mule can then be used to take the backpacks to the Damavand 4000 Shelter. Mules will carry your cargo from Big Rock to the 4000m refuge. The use of mules is obviously less prevalent on the northern front than it is on the southern front, and mules are not always available. If you choose to use a mule, it is better to make the necessary arrangements from inside the Nandal hamlet and before reaching the enormous stone.

Damavand 4000 Shelter 23GUDFEB25A

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 5000 Refuge
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).

Mount Damavand Base Camp

The second campsite of Damavand is located at altitude 3040 meters above sea level. It has various names such as Camp 2, Base Camp, Goosfand Sara and Mosque. Damavand Base Camp is the summer starting point for the south route. In this area there is a small shelter, a mosque (called Saheb Al Zaman Mosque) and a sheepfold (called Goosfand Sara ye Ehsan). Unfortunately Goosfand Sara is not an ideal place for camping and tenting in summer season because it is too crowded, very noisy and dirty.

Reyneh

Mt Damavand South Route Campsites
Reineh hut is the oldest Mt Damavand campsite, it was build in 1939 and reconstructed in 1969, since then there has been no major changes in this building, this small old camp is located in Reyneh Town and it was the only main mountain resort in the area for many years before the construction of Camp 1 Polour in Polour Village in 2004. In recent years among Iranian climbers and foreign tourists, Reineh hut has lost its popularity to the new hut.

If you want to go to Damavand from north of Iran, either from Mazandaran or Gilan or province, you may use the Reineh as your starting point to the south route, but if you travel through capital Tehran, you have a better option and you are recommended to use Polour Hut which is much better place and a shortcut to the Base Camp.
