Our Next Day Destination

Polour, Iran

Day 2 was our acclimatization day. We ascended as far up as we could to gain some height and then descended and stayed one more night in Camp 2.

The next day we are going to ascend to Camp3 Bargah Sevom. Its New Hut was constructed in 2009 at 4250 m. above sea level by Iran Mount Climbing Federation.
It can be seen here as a tiny grey building in the distance, on the border of snow and soil (on the left side of the photo).
It is one of the highest mountain huts in the world and the best place for acclimatization and accommodation in the area.

The New Hut contains comfortable hostel/lodge with private and common rooms with bunk beds.
