We are an "owner operated" Expedition company led by high altitude mountain guides.
Over the many years that Ararat Trek Expedition has been operating, we have gained valuable experience and knowledge that allows us to plan and execute safe expeditions. We are proud to say that we have a 'flawless safety record. We have never have any accident in any of our activities.
What makes us special is that we always try to go one-step further to making sure that our clients receive the best services that can be offered. We believe that this is why our clients come back repeatedly. It gives us great satisfaction that the majority of our business comes from the recommendations of past clients.
More and more persons are offering trips to Mount Ararat, Kackar, Cappadocia, Nemrut, Damavand, Elbrus, etc. and often at lower prices than ours. Our expeditions and treks are all-inclusive; there are no hidden costs and we are fully legal.

Safety is number one priority for us. Since most of the trekking regions do not have access to roads and proper medical facilities safety of clients, staff and porters are very important to us. We take every single safety measure while operating trips.
Our staff ratio is the optimum ratio. This dramatically increases both safety and your chances of success. All our guides have regular training on first aid and safety management. They are able to deal with whatever comes up in the way of injury, illness or unexpected incidents.
Support staff is also well equipped with communication devices so that they can get help should a situation an emergency arise.
Our target is not how take you to the summit. It is how safe we can send back you to your home from summit.

We try to minimize the harshness of the environment by providing the best food and highest possible level of comfort. This has a dramatically beneficial effect on both morale and physical conditioning, which are essential ingredients for success on the mountain.

Food is one the most important factors in a successful expedition. All our cooks recognize the importance of appetizing and nutrient meals in order to maintain health and stamina needed for a successful ascent.
We use only high quality foods and focus mainly on fresh and local foods to help with proper digestion. We give the highest priority to health and hygiene. The last thing that we want is an upset stomach spoiling your holiday.
All cooking is done with gas stoves. We do not use kerosene, so there is no risk of contamination.

All guides are equipped with a hand held radio or phone and we have less two staff wait for 24-hour at land to check team, weather forecast, team condition and safety until expedition safely end. Communications network is an essential safety back up.
We have relationship with many meteorology and climatology network to get best result for weather forecast. It is costly, but if there is, something that is the better to enable us to make superior predictions on when it is safe to make our summit attempts with our crew and client safely why do not use it?
