Damavand Base Camp Goosfand Sara
Q- I would like to ask if there is any Hut in Gosfandsara (Camp N.o2 Mt. Damavand)?
A- No hut , there is just a shelter/refuge and a mosque which are not suitable for use in summer.
Q- I understand, you would not recommend to stay at camp 2.
A- Yes we do not recommend to use Camp2. You may use Camp1 Polour and Camp3 Bargah.
Q- How is it about camp 2 / Gosfand Sara. Is it possible to sleep in the mosque there? I assume it is not accessible by cars in March and reaching camp 3 form Polour in the day might be tough.
A- If you like you may use the camp2 base, beside the mosque, there is also a shelter. But first read the warning on Camp 2 Base. When the gravel road is not accessible by car due ice and snow, you should start from Gravel Road Junction (No 5 in GPS Landmarks), and instead of using camp2 you may add about two hour to your ascend to reach the Camp 3 Bargah Sevom New Hut.
Q- In case we don't get the refuge reservation, it will be easy to find some person in Palour or Reineh who could hire us a tent and brig us to the Camp 2 by car?
A- The mentioned limitation for reservation is mostly for Camp3 New Hut. Camp1 Polour is big and usually you can find some sort of place for your accommodation and find a car to Camp2 Base.
