Turkey Mount Ararat Mountaineering
Agri Province, Turkey · Turkey
Challenging5 daysAsia~£750 est.
Overview
Climb Agri Dagi — Mount Ararat — at 5,137 m, the highest peak in Turkey and a dormant stratovolcano of enormous cultural significance as the purported resting place of Noah's Ark. The standard route from the village of Dogubayazit involves two or three days of ascent through alpine meadows and snowfields to the summit snowcap. A permit from the Turkish government is required and must be obtained in advance; the mountain sits close to the Iranian and Armenian borders. The views east into Iran and north across the Aras River valley into Armenia are extraordinary.
