Mount Aratat & the Wonders of Turkey Expedition Dispatches
Berg Adventures Mount Ararat Expedition, August 11 to 24, 2013
Turkey’s highest mountain, Mount Ararat, standing at 16,854ft/5,137m, has long been a mountain of myth and intrigue. It lies in a region steeped in rich history of the earliest human civilizations. While the region has seen countless changes over centuries, in many ways life in Eastern Turkey has not changed much at all.
Follow the Berg Adventures team as they climb the towering Mount Ararat, learning the illustrious history of this great mountain while walking with nomadic peoples herding their animals, as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. But climbing Mount Ararat won’t be our only objective; our climbers will have the chance to explore the fascinating city of Istanbul and the incredibly unique region of Cappadocia. Join our team as they discover how Turkey is a wonderfully colorful and diverse country with many great adventures to offer.
