Turkey: Mt Ararat
Mount Ararat Summit Expedition — First Time High Altitude Trekkers Series:
Mt Ararat, Mt Kenya and EBC are what we consider to be the most beginner -friendly mountains which in our experience have proven achievable, affordable and enjoyable for hikers who want to climb their first mountain.
UAE Trekkers have had over 15 successful expeditions to Mt Ararat since 2010. We set the maximum group size at 6 to give everyone attention and ensure everyone is safe.
We always send an experienced Trek Leader to work alongside local guides for this expedition. Due to the conditions in Eastern Turkey, the local guides, though experienced, have limited English ability. They know the mountain well and provide us with good services and tents and support.
Training Required:
Hiking in the months leading up to the summer as much as you can will be the best training for preparation. Just get hiking experience, not necessarily hiking a few weeks prior to departure. In the hot months of June and July, Join us for weekly Ski Dubai hiking sessions at -4c, or do your own fitness routine to ensure you are as fit as you can be before you leave. Good fitness, as always, is an advantage in the mountains.
The first 3 days of the climb are gradual and slow on good trails and reasonable altitude gains per day.
The summit push is a steep 4 hours and will push your limits. The last hour will be on a snowy dome glacier requiring you to put snow spikes on your feet to ensure you do not slip. Once you hit ‘crampon point’ as long as the winds are not too harsh, you will continue to the summit slowly and surely. The way down will also challenge your training as you descend back down the rocky mountain side route.
Gear Required:
You will need cold weather gear and sleeping kit. The full kit list is on the brochure attachment at the top of the page.
