Camp 2 Goosfand Sara

Polour, Iran

Camp 2 Base Goosfand Sara is a mountain camping site located at altitude 3040 m. It is the summer starting point for trekking to Mt Damavand summit.
There is a small mountain shelter or refuge (seen on the left), a mosque called Saheb Zaman (or Saheb al Zaman) where we slept over two nights, and a sheepfold.

In summer and climbing season, strong cars like 4WD Jeeps and land rovers transfer climbers and their equipments to this campsite.
Our grop though, used legs to reach this point :) and it was good for starting the acclimatization process.
In Camp 2 you can also find mules and porters to carry your heavy equipment to the last campsite at Camp 3 Bargah Sevom.

The Mosque seems incongruous here. Love the golden dome.

Spectacular scene. Hiking up to almost 10,000 was not easy, I'm sure. Beautiful photo, Jola. You must be in excellent condition to have hiked up here. Vote.
