Day 1
How to reach Mt. Damavand ?
You can travel by car or bus to one of these places :

How to reach Mt. Damavand

Camp 1 - Reineh (Reyneh)
Tehran > Haraz Road > Reineh > Reineh Camp .( approx 2.5 Hours )
If you come from north of Iran, ie Mazandaran State, you may use this way
OR

Camp 1- Polour Camp 2270 m - 7447 ft
Tehran > Haraz Road > Polour > Polour Camp . ( approx 1.5 Hours )
If you travel from Tehran, Polour is much shorter and better way for you.
These Camps belong to Iranian Mountain Climbing Federation which you can use them or you may ask for a car to take you to:

Camp 2 - Base Camp 3040 m - 9973 ft
Farsi Name Goosfand Sara Camp .
Strong cars like 4WD Jeeps carry you to the 2nd Camp / shelter called Goosfand sara which in fact is the Base Camp , ( approx 1 hour ).
If you live in a city with low elevation, like the sea level , you better to have extra rest here or, perhaps stay one night at this place for acclimatization. ( read note 1)

Camp 3 - Shelter 4220 m - 13845 ft
Farsi name Bargah Sevom Camp
By 3 to 4 hours walk you reach the Bargahe Sevom Camp , do not carry heavy equipments yourself , use mule and porters instead . Use the foot paths , it is easy to find them , go slow and steady , if you start in the morning you have enough time , use the day light only , never start in the darkness . Stay one night here . ( read note 1 & 2)

Day 2
How to go to the top of mt. damavand 5,671 m - 18,605 ft
The south face is not a technical way , by 5 to 7 hours slow and steady walk you can reach the summit , do not carry heavy equipments with yourself , you can leave them in Bargahe Sevom Camp, only take necessary things with you , depending to the weather the best starting time is about 5 o`clock in the morning . (read important note 3) . Before starting check up all your necessary things ,have a good breakfast , see the weather forecast carefully if possible , do not rest more than 5 minutes per rest during your climb, for food & drink you need at least 1.5 letters of watter , and a little foods, some sweets or chocolate thats all !! from here upwards there is no water , food or shelter . Use the foot paths , during summer a lot of climbers go this way perhaps you could be able to find a group which suits your programe , if you are not sure use a guide. Do not climb at night.

Return Back
After reaching the top do not spend a lot of time there , take few pictures and return back quickly to Bargahe Sevom Camp ( about 2.5 hours) , you can have rest now for half an hour , when you feel ok try to go back to Goosfand Sara and even to Tehran . If you have enough time after your climb , it is a good idea to go to Abe Garm e Larigan 5 km from Reyneh, which you may use the benefit of mineral hot water springs of Damavand and spend a night there.

Note 1
During summer you can find water and some food here , but I suggest you use your own . You can find mule and porter too.

Note 2
During summer you may find tent and sleeping bag for rent here.

Note 3 , Important !
There is a wrong believe that suggest you start climbing from Bargahe Sevom to the summit of mount damavand at night because of less sulfuric gas , but I advise you never start at night even if you see some climbers do so , most of these people do not succeed their climb and never see the summit !! during the night you can not find suitable footpaths ,you may make many mistakes, you will lose more energy because of colder weather,and most important thing you may be awake but you body is not and the biological clock of your body says it is sleeping time !!
Do not be afraid of sulfuric gas, have a little vinegar with you and make a Vinegar Mask for Volcanic Area of Mount Damavand , it helps you alot !
