About the tour
Mount Ararat Special Tour
“Mount Ararat special tour” is a great option for those who have never been on the 5000 meters peak. It is good to check your abilities on that height, because there is no technical difficulties. This tour is for you if you are active person and you are ready for several hours long trekkings and several hours of summit attack (1000 meters going up and 2000 meters going down). Expedition requires average physical condition – the mountain is not very difficult and to the camps we go without heavy load because the luggages are carried by horses. During our stay in Dogubayazit we will visit beautiful Ishak Pasha Palace. At all our tour to Mount Ararat we plan the reserve day – in case of bad weather conditions. If that day is not used at the mountains, there is time (1 day) for some additional excursions, which of course we will offer to you.
Our special offer in August is a great opportunity of experiencing Ararat Mountains with extremely good price. If that date suits you and you have your mates ready for adventure, make sure to use that opportunity.
