Detailed Program:
Day 1 – Sunday / Doğubayazıt – Ishak Pasha Palace
We meet with our participants in Doğubayazıt and check into our hotel. Depending on the time, we will visit the historic Ishak Pasha Palace before returning to the hotel for a final briefing before the climb.
Day 2 – Monday / Çevirme Village – 3200m Camp
After breakfast at the hotel, we leave any unnecessary items and head to Mount Ararat. We first drive to Çevirme Village and then ascend by vehicle to around 2200 meters. From there, we begin our trek, carrying water and supplies, and hike for about 4-5 hours to reach the 3200m camp, where we will set up camp.
Day 3 – Tuesday / Acclimatization Day – 4200m Camp
Without dismantling the 3200m camp, we pack our water and supplies and begin a 3-4 hour hike to reach the 4200m camp. This day is dedicated to acclimatization to prepare for the summit conditions. After reaching the 4200m camp, we return to the 3200m camp for the night.
Day 4 – Wednesday / 4200m Camp – Final Preparations Before the Summit
After breakfast, we pack our supplies and hike back up to the 4200m camp in about 3-4 hours. We spend the rest of the day training in snow and preparing for the summit. We go to bed early to be ready for the summit push the next day.
Day 5 – Thursday / Summit Day – 3200m Camp
Summit day! We wake up around 01:00, have breakfast, and begin our summit trek with water and supplies in hand. If the weather conditions are favorable, we plan to reach the summit by around 06:30. After a short break at the summit, we descend to the 4200m camp, rest for an hour, and then continue down to the 3200m camp for the night.
Day 6 – Friday / Descent to Çevirme Village – Doğubayazıt – Rest
After breakfast, we leave the 3200m camp and descend to Çevirme Village. Our vehicle will take us back to our hotel in Doğubayazıt, where we will spend the day resting. (If bad weather affects the summit day, this day will serve as a backup day.)
Day 7 – Saturday / Departure Day
Today marks the end of our tour. Depending on your flight time, we can explore the surrounding area in Doğubayazıt. We will then assist with your departure arrangements.
