This programme is designed for private groups who would prefer full services on the mountain and some flexibility in the programme. An extra day could be added to stay at 3200m two nights on the way up allowing for more acclimatiosation. The descent could be split into 2 days, this would result in a shortened tour at the end of the trip. Airport transfers and hotel accommodation is included. Ararat permits are included in the cost, we will need a photocopy of your passport in order to obtain this.
