Choose Your Damavand Adventure Duration

While our featured itinerary is the 5‑day Damavand mountaineering tour, we also offer shorter 3‑day and longer 7‑day options to suit different preferences and experience levels. The 3‑day tour is an intensive ascent and descent, ideal for climbers who already have good fitness and acclimatization experience. By contrast, the 7‑day version provides more gradual acclimatization and rest days, making it a better choice for those looking to maximize safety and enjoy the mountain scenery at a more relaxed pace.
