Damavand Summit
16-AUG-18 12:20PM on the summit 16-AUG-18 1:07:37PM after taking photos and turning around the crater ..................................................... It's better to reach the peak before noon or about 1:00 PM I turned around the crater for about 25 min. You can see the Lar lake in the east side of the summit. The scenery around the crater is just amazing. There are so many kind of samples of sulfuric stones, beautiful and shining in the sunlight.

Third Court
15-AUG-18 2:20 PM ............................................... This is the base-camp, almost the majority of the mountaineers stay here for the night before ascend, and they continue to the peak early in the next morning. Finding a good place for your tent in the camp is a little difficult in this season ! There were more than 100 tents around the third court, and also some lodging and spaces to reserve in the shelter, Mineral water, nutrition, etc. are available. WC services are available separately for men and women. Elevation: 4250m
