Mount Ararat Trek

Main Info

Mount Ararat Trek

The earliest recorded ascent of a mountain dates back to the Mount Ararat Trek made by the biblical figure Noah. Standing tall in eastern Turkey, near the borders of Russia and Iran, Mount Ararat rises majestically to 5,165 meters above sea level. It’s located roughly 250 km east of Erzurum, 130 km southeast of Kars, and 160 km north of Van. This iconic, snow-capped peak is renowned not only for its grandeur but also for its significance in Christian tradition, as many believe it’s where Noah’s Ark came to rest after the Great Flood.

The Mount Ararat Trek is a challenging but non-technical climb that requires good physical stamina. The ascent takes you through rugged terrain, with the upper third of the mountain covered in snow, and the final stretch to the summit becoming icy and more difficult. It’s a demanding yet rewarding journey, offering not just a physical challenge but also a deep spiritual and historical connection to one of the world’s most famous mountains.

Excellent reception on arrival, good accommodation and good supervision for the trek. Overall a very satisfying and relaxing trip, not too demanding and culturally interesting. Camps at Mount Ararat were very well organized.
