We depart from Yerevan and travel to Doğubayazıt.
On the way, we stop in Kars for lunch and a short visit to the Holy Apostles Church, enjoying a brief walk and the historic surroundings.
After arriving in Doğubayazıt, we check into our hotel and rest, preparing for the mountain adventure ahead.
Overnight: Doğubayazıt

From the hotel, we drive to the mountain’s base at about 2400 meters, where our trek begins.
The hike to Base Camp takes around 4-5 hours, gradually gaining altitude to 3400 meters.
The camp lies on the slopes of Mount Ararat, offering wide views and a first real taste of high-mountain atmosphere. After settling in and resting, we share a hearty dinner at camp.
All heavy equipment is carried by horses, so we hike only with our personal essentials.
Overnight: Tents at Base Camp (3400 m)

After breakfast, we begin the hike from Base Camp (3400 m) to Second Camp at 4200 meters. The trek takes around 4–5 hours, gradually gaining altitude as we approach the higher slopes of Mount Ararat.
Once at Second Camp, we settle into our tents, and our guides provide crampons and a short demonstration on how to use them.
After an early dinner, we prepare for an early night to rest for the challenging summit push ahead.
Overnight: Tents at 4200 m

We begin the day with a light breakfast before starting our summit push around 1 am.
The climb from Second Camp (4200 m) to the summit takes approximately 6–7 hours.
Along the way, we’ll witness the remarkable phenomenon of Mount Ararat’s shadow stretching behind us - a truly unique experience. Time at the summit depends on weather conditions and can range from 10 minutes to an hour.
After celebrating at the top, we descend back to Second Camp, pack our gear, and continue down to Base Camp (3200 m) for dinner and an overnight rest.
