Mount Nemrut- Turkey

All of you who have given your hearts to old archaeological sites and mountains, we give you Mount Nemrut. Being one of the most popular sites in Turkey with 2000 years old ruins of the Commagene cult, huge statues of ancient Greek, Armenian, and Perisan gods, we are sure you wont be able to get enough of this place!

Take out your sunblocks and unleash your wander-lust people because the sunrise and the sunset is breath-taking! The beauty is almost impossible to describe.

(Inside tip: Make sure you carry a warm jacket even in harsh summers so being cold does not distract you from the experience)

The hiking experience is amazing here, you will be required to climb up , We recommend that you choose the West terrace since it has stairs all the way to the top but if the entire journey gets exhausting then mule taxi services are available. The entire journey takes upto 6 hours and there are many stops on the way up, it’s better that you take your time going up and take breaks while enjoying the beautiful view.
