Climbing Mount Halgurd

the aim of this epic expedition is to make a summit attempt on Mount Halgurd (3,607m). This snow-covered mountain is the highest climbable peak in Kurdistan’s Zagros ranges and the highest mountain that lies wholly within Kurdistan.

​

In addition to climbing Mount Halgurd, this expedition gives you the chance to experience the rich and hospitable culture of the Kurds. Explore Kurdistan’s incredible capital city of Erbil and enjoy a typical Kurdish welcome in the smaller mountain communities encountered in route to Mount Halgurd itself.
