Mount Agra is center of attraction for climbers from around world

Mount Agra 5137 m high, located in the Doglyazit region in the east of Turkey, attracts climbers from around the world.

The peak is covered with snow and glaciers throughout the year.

Mount Agra is the highest peak of the country and is one of the most popular mountains in the world among climbers.

Local and foreign climbers (mainly from the countries of Europe), upon completion of training, begin their campaign from the village of Chevirme.

Climans take with them as many equipment as they can take away. The rest is loaded with horses and after several hours, accompanied by conductors, they reach camping at an altitude of 3200 above sea level.

The climbers spend the night in tents installed here to adapt to height and rest. In the morning of the second day, they continue their way, and overcoming steep roads, reach the next point at an altitude of 4200.

Having rested here for a while, climbers put on winter clothes and boots, and despite the cold weather and the night wind, they continue a difficult ascent to the top.

On the morning of the third day, having gone along the glaciers, climbers reach the peak.

After spending some time here, they go back and stop on vacation at the second campsite.

Then the climbers get to the first camping, spend the night here. Then they reach the village of Chevirme, from where they go to the hotel on minibuses. So the four -day complex climb to the top ends.

The guide of Yildirom Sechmen told Anadol that the interest in the grief of Agra among foreigners and citizens of Turkey continues to grow.

“It is very easy to get here. For this reason, thousands of climbers rise annually to the top or come to the mountain to conduct a variety of events. The climbers are met in campsites in the best way. They are provided with nutrition and everything necessary. We do everything possible to make it possible It is comfortable to climb to the top, ”he said.

Thomas Walker, who came from Belgium, is very pleased to go up to the top of the agra.

According to him, the mountain has “indescribable majesty.” “I arrived at the agra on the advice of my cousin and is very pleased with the conditions created for tourists. I’ve been here for three days, I hope we will get to the top of the whole team,” said Walhdullah Söylemez.
