Damavand Campsites and Resorts

For a successful ascend to Mount Damavand Iran you should know the necessary information about this giant volcano, trails and campsites. Trek to Damavand summit is not technical and does not require major trekking skills. The main challenge of the climb is acclimatization and accommodation. In this topic you can find the essential information for Damavand south route accommodation, lodgings, settlement, tenting and camping.

gear to this campground. You may find water and some food here. However it is recommended to bring and utilize your very own staff. It is possible to use mule/donkey to carry your gear to the top camp called Camp 3 Bargah Sevom.
