About this place
Halgurd stands in the Halgurd-Sakran national park near the Iranian border and is the highest summit entirely within Iraq. Climbers start from Choman, camp high and go for the top before dawn. Two warnings matter: snow can stay until June, and there are still mines off the used paths, so this is a climb to do only with a local guide and permission.
Visiting times
Climbing season June to October. Only with a local guide, on the marked path, and register in Choman first.
Times can change on holidays and in bad weather. Ask us in the direct chat if you need the current hours.
