Overview

Mount Ararat is 5137m (16854 ft), and you will need a special permit to climb the mountain which your guides will organise. However, this can take a couple of months to process.

The climate on Ararat can be spectacular and changeable, but our guides have spent their lives on and around the mountain. Also, they are fully qualified and equipped to lead expeditions on the mountain as the regulations stipulate.

You should take some pre-climb training, and if you already have a good fitness base, we can recommend a fitness programme that would cover the requirement for your permit to be approved. You can not just throw yourself at Ararat; the Turkish name for Ararat is ‘Mountain of Pain’ for a reason! You need to be able to walk at least 10-15 miles comfortably before you take on this challenge.

We have an acclimatisation process as altitude sickness can be a problem with some climbers. This is something our professional guides are familiar with and are happy to direct you to good sources of information.

Your luggage and all camping gear are packed on horses or mules for the trek; all you need to carry is anything you require for your personal need, and a decent capacity hydration unit is recommended as dehydration can contribute to general fatigue and the onset of altitude sickness.

For those who wish to experience the impressive, beautiful scenery of this region without the trek to the summit, we are happy to arrange treks on foot or horseback.

We arrange all equipment for the climb including tents, sleeping bags, pickaxe, hand lamp, mountaineering clothing and shoes and you will have a professional and certified local guide who will prepare three meals a day for you, and, of course, tea.
