Local cash payments are becoming increasingly popular with many operators in the
adventure travel industry. The policy seems to benefit the tour operators, more than the
local economies or travellers, as it avoids local taxes and transfers the cost and risk of
cash handling to travellers. In accordance with our Responsible Travel practices we have
chosen a policy not to ask for such payments.

detailed itinerary
DAY 1Join Istanbul
If you are arriving in Istanbul today, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the group hotel.
A meeting will be held this evening with your guide to introduce the trip and meet with your fellow
travellers.
meals: NIL
DAY 2Istanbul sightseeing
Formerly known as Constantinople, Istanbul was the hub of the Ottoman Empire and many of the
grand buildings of this period are still present. Today we will explore the old Sultanahmet Area. It
would be easy to spend a week in this city and still not have seen all the sights. We will visit the
Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome square (obelisks), both located within walking distance of our
hotel. Rest of the afternoon at leisure.
meals: B
DAY 3Istanbul, fly to Kayseri
An exciting day of discovery as your guide introduces you to more of Istanbul’s famous sights; all
are close to the old part of town - Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. The markets
are little changed from early times, with a chaotic mix of goods and wares brought by people near
and far to trade. Foods, clothing, jewellery, leather goods can be found at reasonable prices if you
bargain.
In the late afternoon or early evening we will drive to Ataturk Airport (Istanbul) for our flight to
Kayseri (or Nevsehir) and continue from there to Ihlara where we spend the night at the hotel.
(Please note: flight is subject to availability and schedule changes. On some occasions it may be
necessary to fly to the smaller airport of Nevsehir, also in the Cappadocia region).
meals: B,D
DAY 4Hike Ihlara Valley, transfer to the Taurus Mountains
Today we start walking in the Ihlara Valley, a 14km long canyon with hundreds of rock hewn houses
and churches. We will explore some of these and gain an insight into what it must have been like for
the early civilisations living here. After having lunch in Belisirma village we drive to Selime to visit
the Selime Monastery. A visit to this complex of buildings on a steep mountain slope is a must in
the region. In the afternoon, we drive to the Aladaglar National Park. We pack our trek luggage into
the kit bags that will be loaded onto our mules. Any excess luggage not required on the trek will be
stored securely for collection again on Day 10. Walking time/distance: 3-4 hrs, 8 kms. Driving time/
distance: 2 hrs, 145 kms.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 5Commence Taurus Mountains trek to Alaca Plateau and Emli Valley
This morning we hike up to Mangirci Gorge via Emli Valley, and climb up to Alaca Yayla (Plateau) with
spectacular views of the southern Aladaglar region. After lunch, we descend down to our campsite
in the Emli Valley passing the old semi-nomadic camp of Oluksekisi. During summer, semi-nomadic
families can be seen here with their livestock. Walking time: 5-6 hrs. Ascent/Descent: 650m.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 6Trek Siyirmalik Valley, Eznevit Plateau and Sakartas Pass (2300m) to Sokulupinar camp
This morning you will walk up to the Siyirmalik Valley through its elegant forest of fir trees, and
climb up via the pastures of the Eznevit Plateau until we reach the highest point on this pass
(2538m). It is a truly picturesque region and we will take a break for lunch here with time to absorb

the scenery and magnitude of the mountain landscape. From here, we continue walking towards
the Sakartas Pass (2300m), and then descend to Sokulupinar where we overnight at the campsite.
Walking time: 6-7 hrs; Ascent: 788m / Descent: 538m.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 7Celikbuyduran Pass (3450m) and Yedigoller Plateau (3100m)
After breakfast we head up to Karayalak Valley and climb up to Celikbuyduran Pass (3450m). Today
is our toughest day of walking as we will ascend for about 5 hours. Just before the Pass there is
a small spring. With clear, sparkling mountain water this makes an ideal place for a short break.
After the pass we will descend down to our camp on the Seven Lakes (Yedigoller) Plateau (3100m).
Over a cup of tea at the camp we can reminisce on a stunning day of activity. Walking time: 7-8 hrs,
Ascent: 1450m / Descent: 350m.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 8Optional ascent of Emler Peak (3723m)
Today’s climb to the summit of Mt Emler is optional, starting and finishing at our base camp on the
Seven Lakes Plateau. It is, however, well worth the effort with 360o vistas over the surrounding
ranges. To commence we climb to the Celikbuyduran Pass (3450m) and ascend from there for about
an hour to the Mt Emler summit (3723m). From the peak it is possible to see Mt Erciyes (3917m)
to the north, Mt Hasan (3268m) to the west, the Bolkar Range to the south and all the main peaks
of the Aladaglar Range. Weather permitting we will enjoy a picnic lunch on the summit before
descending via the same route to our camp. Walking time: 5-6 hrs, Ascent/Descent: 623m.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 9Teke Kalesi (3517m) and Seven Lakes Plateau
We leave our camp in the early morning and walk towards the second biggest lake of the area,
and then climb up to the Teke Kalesi Pass (3517m). We take a short break to take in the incredible
panoramic views over the Seven Lakes area below. We descend down green pastures via a narrow
path via Yildiz (Star) Lake to our campsite at Karagol. Walking time: 7-8 hrs, Ascent: 417m / Descent:
717m.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 10Complete trek, transfer to Cappadocia, en route visit Derinkuyu
This morning, we will walk down small roads that service local mines and little creeks via Maden
gorge to Pinarbasi village, where we will meet our vehicle which will transfer us to the village
of Demirkazik for lunch. On the way to Cappadocia, we visit the incredible underground city of
Derinkuyu (8 levels connected by a series of tunnels, extending to a depth of 64m under the ground).
Carved in ancient times as a shelter during periods of siege and continuous raids, this huge hidden
city under the plains of Central Anatolia can best be described as “Swiss Cheese”! Walking time: 3
hrs, Descent: 400m. Driving time/distance: 2 hrs, 125 kms.
meals: B,L,D
DAY 11Cappadocia: Uchisar, White Valley, Cavusin Zelve Monastery, Pasabaglari
Cappadocia is an extraordinary geological area in central Turkey - reminiscent of a lunar landscape
pitted with small volcanic craters, vast barren plateaus and steep jagged cliffs. Only an occasional
oasis laying low in semi fertile valleys fed by mineral laden volcanic soil breaks its moonlike
landscape. Several centuries ago the Christians hid from encroaching Arab, Persian and Roman
forces by building underground cave-like cities linked by secret tunnels. Only when it was safe
to surface did the people tend to their fields above. Some of the cities descend some 21 stories.
Today we climb Uchisar Fortress, which is the highest point of Goreme and has panoramic views of
the surrounding area. Next we walk in the White Valley or ‘Love Valley’ as it is sometimes known.
We continue to Cavusin, from where we start our walk amongst fascinating rock formations and
with magnificent views to the fairy chimneys at Monk’s Valley (Pasabaglari) down below. Our walk

responsible travel
The environments we travel through are
fragile. It is our responsibility as visitors to
minimise the impact of our presence. World
Expeditions were the proud recipients of
the inaugural Australian National Travel
Industry’s Environmental Achievement award
for our Responsible Travel Guidebook. This
detailed guide to responsible and sustainable

trip grading
Moderate
This expedition involves trekking steep
mountain paths for up to seven hours a
day at a steady pace. To undertake this
level of activity you will need a good level
of trekking fitness and be sure‑footed.
Some days involve walking over rugged
terrain including boulders and scree with
a tiny bit of scrambling. As a minimum,
we recommend one hour of aerobic type
exercise, three to five times a week for
three months leading up to your trek.
adventure travel
By its very nature adventure travel involves
an element of the unexpected. In remote
and developing countries do not expect
standards you are used to at home. Remote
areas are sometimes unpredictable and
itineraries may be altered. To get the most
out of your adventure it is important that
you are flexible, positive and eager to
take on all the challenges that arise. If you
are uncertain about your suitability for
this trip we recommend that you speak
with your consultant or travel agent.
concludes with a visit to the Zelve Monastery Valley and open air museum. Next we drive to the
interesting triple capped fairy chimneys in Pasabaglari. Afterwards there is the option to enjoy a
traditional Turkish bath or discover local handicrafts.
Walking time/distance: 2-3 hrs, 6 kms; Descent: 280m (White Valley).
Walking time/distance: 2-3 hrs, 4 kms; Ascent: 60m / Descent: 70m (Cavusin – Zelve - Pasabaglari).
meals: B,L,D
DAY 12Cappadocia: Goreme Open Air Museum, Meskendir Valley, Red & Rose Valley
After breakfast, we continue our exploration of this fascinating region. First we explore the Museum
of Goreme, one of the area’s most interesting sights with some of the best preserved frescoes in
Cappadocia. Afterwards, we start walking in the Meskendir Valley, which is full with old cave houses
and complexes from the old Christian civilisation. Next we cross over to the beautiful Red and Rose
Valleys with its spectacular formations and colours where, time permitting, there is an opportunity
to visit some hidden churches. Afterwards, optional visits can be made to a pottery centre to learn
the 5000 yr old traditions of this craft; and to a carpet workshop, where the knotted or flat woven
(kilim) carpets are among the best known art forms produced by the Turks. There are environmental,
sociological, economic, and religious reasons for the art of carpet weaving among the Turkish
people. Some of these are incorporated into the colourful carpet designs. Walking time/distance: 4-5
hrs, 9 kms; Ascent: 85m / Descent: 135m (Meskendir Valley; Red & Rose Valley).
meals: B,L,D
DAY 13Cappadocia: Explore Urgup and Goreme, whirling Dervish Show
This morning we take a leisurely exploration of the towns of Urgup and Goreme, with their
small handicraft shops, pleasant cafes and tea houses. In the afternoon, we will be treated to
a performance of the Vuslat Sema Whirling Dervishes of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi. The Sema
ceremony symbolises the mystical journey of a man’s spiritual growth through mind and love to
perfection. Afterwards we return to our hotel and enjoy a farewell dinner in Cappadocia.

country information
Turkey is a natural bridge between the two worlds of the West and the Orient. It displays an
amazing diversity in its geography, geology and climate, varying from extremes such as the
subtropical forest of the Black Sea coast to the evergreen pine forests of the Mediterranean,
snow capped mountains, rolling steppe and rich agricultural valleys. The Taurus Mountains
are part of the “Alp ‑ Himalaya zone’ along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
The landscape of the region varies from rolling green hills, forests, high snow‑capped peaks,
impressive canyons and unbelievable rock formations. During the trekking season the
vegetation can splash the hills with colour ‑ masses of purple vetch, blue cornflowers and
brilliant red poppies.
Cappadocia is a surreal landscape of conical shaped, limestone formations. Its contrasting
moonscapes and valleys filled with rock‑hewn churches and dwellings and fairy chimneys are

important note
These trip notes represent the most
current information for this itinerary, and
may supersede any information in the
current brochure, including but not limited
to the itinerary and price. The itinerary
should be seen as a guide only. This
itinerary may change at any time due to
inclement weather, forces of nature and
other circumstances beyond our control.
nestled under the snow‑capped mountains of Mount Aergius. It is primarily an agricultural region
due to its rich, mineral laden soil; however, much wealth is generated from its famous carpet
weaving and tourism. Turkey’s population has reached nearly 60 million. More than 95% of the
population is Islamic. The original nomadic people, the Yoruk, or Black Tent Dwellers, still keep
their original culture and way of life, alternating between the summer and winter pastures of the
Taurus Mountains. Their Mongolian faces can distinguish them and they commonly wear loose
baggy trousers, as they do in other regions of Central Asia.
climate
Our trips run from May to August which is to coincide with the trekking season. Any earlier or
later could have us trekking in snow‑laden conditions which could prevent us from achieving
the trek itinerary. The ocean sides of the Taurus Range experiences warm to mild conditions
and the interior climate tends to be hot and dry during this time along with cool nights. In
the summer months the Taurus Mountains experience high daytime temperatures with low
nighttime temperatures depending on the altitude. Rain in the summer months is rare. The
Central Anatolian region of Cappadocia has hot and dry daytime temperatures of between
20‑30 degrees Celsius and cool nights between 10‑20 degrees Celsius. The Kackar mountain
ranges experience the same warmer days and cooler nights, once again altitude dependant.
The Aegean experiences a hot and humid climate during summer (May – September) with
temperatures rising to over 40 degrees Celsius at times. Average temperatures for this period
are between 15 and 32 degrees Celsius. Rainfall at this time is at its lowest. The Mediterranean
experiences similar weather patterns to the Aegean, although temperatures are slightly hotter
ranging from 16 – 33 degrees Celsius between May and September.
a typical day
Trekking Routine
We pack our main luggage into our kit bags before breakfast so that it can be loaded onto the
mules. We only carry a daypack on the trail. After a wholesome breakfast we are usually on
the trail by around 7.30 ‑ 7.45 am and walk for around 3‑4 hours. Lunch is usually a one hour
break. The afternoon walk is generally a little shorter and camp is usually reached by around
3.30 ‑ 4.30 pm. Dinner is usually served between 6.00‑7.00 pm. This period of your trekking day
is a nice time to relax and enjoy your surroundings, the wilderness, mountains, group members,
crew and people you have met along the way. Much of the enjoyment of an expedition is in the
journey itself.
Touring Routine
Depending on the schedule for the day, we generally begin sightseeing, driving or walking
reasonably early to make the most of every day. Breakfast will be taken at your hotel, with a stop
for lunch at a local restaurant or for a picnic. Dinners will include a variety of local and western
cuisine.
dietary requirements
Provided we are advised in advance of your departure we are able to cater for vegetarian diets
and can assist with medically recommended diets (allergies and intolerances). Please ensure
you discuss your requirements with us well in advance (at least 1 month prior to your trip) to
determine whether we can cater to such dietary requirements on your chosen adventure. Please
note that options are likely to be limited in very remote locations or alternatives may be more
expensive or unavailable. There may be times when those with special requirements may need
to provide their own food. We are unable to guarantee a peanut‑free or allergen‑free trip, and
therefore, we strongly encourage that travellers with life‑threatening or severe allergies take
all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure. Passengers must
travel with all necessary medications for food allergies and be capable of self‑administering
these medications.

An inspiring adventure through the historical and geographical heart of Turkey
what you carry
In your daypack you will need to carry extra warm clothing (depending on the altitude, location
and weather), a rainjacket, water bottle, camera gear, valuables and personal items such as
sunscreen, lip‑eze etc. Mules carry all your gear on trek.
equipment required
Specialist gear required includes walking boots, day pack and sleeping bag (a comprehensive
gear list is provided in the pre‑departure information provided on booking).
acute mountain sickness
When we ascend above 2500 meters our bodies have to acclimatise to the decreasing amount
of the oxygen available. To allow our bodies to adjust we have structured our treks so that you
ascend slowly, allowing acclimatisation to occur. However, during the acclimatisation process,
you may experience some of the following symptoms.
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Disturbed sleep
• Loss of appetite/nausea
• Shortness of breath
• Cough
• Palpitation
• Swelling of the hands and face
Individuals acclimatise at different rates. Your best strategy is to take your time and drink plenty
of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it
does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our group leaders have extensive
first aid training and we urge you to communicate with the group leader at all times should you
believe you have any symptoms in order that we can effectively monitor your symptoms. The
only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend.
Please note that your group leader has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if
symptoms persist.
vehicles & safety
During the course of your trip, we will use a variety of vehicles, all of which are fit for purpose
and the conditions encountered. It should be noted that laws governing transportation safety
may differ from those in your home country and on occasion some vehicles may not have
seat belts fitted. While game viewing within a national park could be one example, public bus
transfers or specialised transport such as ‘tuk‑tuk’s’ could be another. Where seat belts are not
provided we strongly recommend that you hold tight to a fixed part of the vehicle at all times.
what’s not included
additional sightseeing and meals other than stated
entrance fees for historical and natural sites
bottled water, aerated and alcoholic drinks
items of a personal nature such as phone calls, laundry, etc

demand is increasing each year making it difficult to join a trip last minute. To ensure we can
assist you onto your adventure of a lifetime we ask that you check your trip availability with our
team at your earliest convenience.
how to book
To book a World Expeditions trip, you will need to complete a booking form and pay a non
