Iran: Mount Damavand

The highest peak in Iran, an iconic volcanic giant that nestles amongst the snow-capped Alborz Mountains to the north of Tehran. This exhilarating adventure takes you into the dramatic landscapes of Persian folklore. You scale the heights of both Damavand and the neighbouring peak of Mt Touchal, on a journey into a harsh mountain terrain of frozen waterfalls and sulphurous fumaroles. This is an adventure that is quite literally ‘off the beaten track’.
