Ski program

Arrival. On this day, you will be met by a representative of the company at the airport of Ygdir. We have to move to the border town of Dogubayazit. The transfer will take about an hour.

Hotel accommodation. We will check the equipment, get permits, and we will still have time for an independent evening walk around the city. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

First day of ascent. The rise will be early. We will have breakfast at the hotel and start packing.

First, on a comfortable minibus we need to move to the village of Eli which is located at an altitude of 2000m. Here we will load our backpacks onto horses and walk to our first camp at an altitude of 2800m - 3000m depending on the amount of snow. Lunch will be in the form of lunch boxes, and upon arrival at the camp you will be provided with a full dinner. Rest and overnight in tents.

Acclimatization day. After breakfast, we will go on an acclimatization hike to the second camp at an altitude of about 3800-3900m in order to then descend again to the first camp. The whole transition will take us about 4-5 hours, including halts. Having reached the top point, we will have a snack and start the descent back. It is recommended to go to bed early, as you will also have to get up very early the next day. Dinner, rest, night in tents.

Transfer to the second camp. We have passed acclimatization and on this day trekking should be easier. We will get up early and have breakfast; we will pack up the camp and go to an altitude of 3800-3900m. This is our last and highest camp. Arriving at the place, we will settle down and prepare for the ascent. Dinner, rest. It will be necessary to go to sleep early as we will have very little time left before reaching the top.

Climbing day. Around 1 am we have to wake up and have breakfast. After breakfast at about 2:00 we will leave for the ASCENT. The climb to the top takes about 7-9 hours. At an altitude of about 4800m above sea level, where eternal snow and ice begins (this varies depending on the time of year) we should put on crampons. Having conquered the summit, we need to go down to the 2nd base camp where we will have a snack, rest and then continue the descent to the first camp. A hot dinner will be waiting for us on the spot. Rest and night in tents.

Transfer to Dogubayazit. In the morning, after a good rest, we will go down to the village of Eli from where the car will pick us up and take us to Dogubayazit. Check into a hotel. Visiting a Turkish bath (optional). Celebration of a successful ascent!

Reserve day. Reserve day in case of bad weather. In case we don’t use it on the mountain, it will be very useful for sightseeing tours and walks around the city. It will be very interesting to visit the Ishak Pasha Palace and the Kurdish Museum (not included in the tour price).

Departure. Today we are going home. The car will take you to the Igdir airport. Flight home. End of the program.
