Best Itinerary for Mt Damavand 4A - 5A - 6A

Among many different itineraries and depending to the time you can afford, we recommend 4 to 6 days itinerary. These itineraries have been designed according to our clients' needs and are the most favorite and practical programmes which have been experienced successfully in our previous expeditions.

These samples give you an idea how to manage and finalize your own concept, the best relaxing itineraries among foreign mountaineers. You may set up your own, modify a package or use one of our suggested programmes, to best suit your plan.

It is a good idea to add an extra day to a package, as a reserved day, and make it more flexible for the second attempt to the summit in case of bad weather or team being too tired to continue thas planed.

Yet if your are not sure how to handle your travel, and if you need any help to make your decision, just let's know some info about your trip and the amount of time you want to spend for your trip or let's work together to finalize your itinerary.

A small glacier is located just few meters above the fall and is the main source of water and ice to make it almost a permenant icefall, but it could collapse in a very hot summer.

Common Mistakes Part2
21 Jan 2011, Posted by MDG.

In this topic you can find some other reasons which are the main cause of unsuccessful attempts to Damavand summit and our suggested ways to increase your chance of success to the peak.
If you have the feeling of exhaustion, weakness, lack of energy and disorientation to go ahead and continue the ascend, the followings could be the main cause of your problem. To overcome this and for adaptation to the new environment, just before atempting the mountain, we suggest to a have a good rest after your flight. Camp1 Polour ans Camp3 New Hut are ideal places for your rest and accomodation. Read more in part1.

Damavand Iran, Photo by A. Soltani

Jet Lag
After a long flight or a long journey across different time zones, jet lag is a cause of being exhausted and excessive tiredness. If you are coming from a country with more than 3 hours difference in time zones, you may need one extra day rest for adaptation to the new environment.

Biological Clock
The natural mechanism that controls the cyclical physiological activities of organisms.
You may ask yourself, "what time is it by your internal biological clock ?!" The answer is, "it take some time that a person can biologically perform a certain function."
It is not recommended to do tough exercises while your internal biological clock indicates that the body is in the resting mode, it is quite wrong to attempt climbing when the biological clock of your body says it is sleeping time!

Biorhythms
Sometimes there could be more factors that you feel you are not in a good mood for climbing, factor such as biorhythm cycles. Biorhythm is an attempt to predict various aspects of a person's life through simple mathematical cycles, your life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles which affect your ability in various domains, such as physical, mental, and emotional activity. These cycles begin at birth and continue throughout life; thus, by modeling them mathematically, a person's level of ability can be predicted from day to day.
