Skiing Mount Artos Mount Suphan Mount Ararat
Mount Ararat (Armenian: Արարատ; Turkish: Ağrı Dağı) is the highest peak in Turkey (Turkish Kurdistan), with 5137 m, located in the eastern part of the country, Anatolia region, very close to the border with Iran and Armenia. It is an inactive volcano whose summit is covered with perpetual snow.
Climbing it is not technically demanding, but it does require good physical preparation, which makes it a good starting point for high altitude climbing. For the Christian religion, Mount Ararat is the place where Noah's Ark was deposited after the Great Flood. On some of its slopes, supposed remains of the Ark have been found. At its base, some Kurdish villages allow you to see the traditional nomadic life of this culture.
The details of the ascent are included in the included program. It can be extended with an extra day to visit nearby areas of great charm, always contemplating its majesty (elevation 3,611 m) or to tour the beautiful Istanbul, on request.
