On the first day we pick up the group from the airport or border crossing. After picking up the group by private car, transit or taxi, we set off towards Doğubayazıt. It takes 2 hours 45 minutes to reach Doğubeyazıt from Van airport. Dogubayazit is a city located at the foot of Mount Ararat. The distance between Doğubeyazıt and Ağrı airport is 1 hour 45 minutes. The distance between Dogubeyazit and Igdir is only 50 minutes. Whichever airport our customers choose, we are ready at that airport with a vehicle and pick up the group. We go to the hotel in Doğubayazıt and our customers stay in the hotel that night. The group can rest at the hotel or visit the bazaar centre.

We get off at the village of ‘Çevirme’ at 2200 metres altitude of Mount Ararat, where our group’s private chef gives each person a lunch package individually and the porters load all the materials on the horses and move to the first camp, which is the winter camp, at an altitude of 2800 metres. At the same time, our professional local guide wears skis with the group or continues to walk on the snow without wearing skis. We arrive at the first camp at an altitude of 2800 metres in about 3 hours. We stop about two or three times on the way.
