On the first day, we collect the group from the airport or the border. After collecting the group in a private car, public transport or taxi, we depart for Doğubayazıt. It takes 2 hours and 45 minutes to reach Doğubeyazıt from Van airport. Doğubeyazıt is a town located at the foot of Mount Ararat. The distance between Doğubeyazıt and Ağrı airport is 1 hour and 45 minutes. The distance between Doğubeyazit and Iğdır is just 50 minutes. Whichever airport our customers choose, we are also present at that airport by car and pick up the group. We drive to Doğubayazıt to the hotel and our guests stay overnight. The group can relax at the hotel if they wish, or visit the bazaar centre.

After breakfast at the hotel between 6.30 and 7.30 am on the second day, i.e. around 9.00 am, we put all our equipment in the car, board the minibus with our local guide and head for the village of Mount Ararat (2200 metres above sea level). After a journey of around 50 minutes, we arrive at the village of Çevirme (2200 metres). After downloading all our ingredients here, our private cook, who belongs to our group, gives us a packed lunch and a 1.5-litre bottle of water for lunch en route. After the porters have loaded all the equipment onto the horses, we head for the first camp. Our local guide takes small rucksacks with the group and heads for the first camp. The location of the car is about 8 kilometres between 2200 metres and the first camp, 3300 metres. It takes about 5 hours. We stop about three times along the way. When the group arrives at the camp, our cook prepares tea, hot water, coffee and snacks. After listening to our group in the kitchen, we pitch a tent together. This way, everyone can take a photo, and everyone can relax in the kitchen tent and drink tea or coffee. In the evening, after our cook has prepared local dishes, meals are served at 6 or 6.30 pm. After dinner, people can have tea or coffee in the kitchen, and they can take photos.

On the third day, after breakfast, everyone prepares their tents at around 9am and hands over their suitcases and all their equipment to the hammers, with the exception of the small rucksack. There, the chief of staff loads the equipment onto the horses and heads for the second camp. Our cook also distributes a packed lunch and water to everyone. Our local guide takes the group to the second camp, at an altitude of 4,200 metres. After a 3-hour journey, we arrive at the second camp and put up the tents together. Our cook also prepares snacks and tea. After preparing our small tents and eating in the kitchen tent, those who want to take photos outside rest in their own tent. After dinner, at 5 or 5.30pm, our guide organises a meeting with the group. After a brief statement, everyone goes to bed in their own tents to wake up early the next morning.

After the summit we will back to second camp and some couple hour sleeping in tent after while descent back to car point 2200m meeting with our bus and drive to dogubayazit, and taking shower at hotel and drinking beer front of Ararat view and doing celebration for the peak and start we can visit dogubayazit historical and cultural places ishakpasha place urartian castle and evening join the dinner and transfer back to hotel and overnight stay in hotel.
