Nature tourism promotion in Yüksekova

Overview

The Yüksekova Ecological Mountaineering and Sports Club Association (YEKDASDER) has been conducting expeditions in the Hakkâri region of Turkey to promote local natural heritage and ecotourism.

In late September, club members completed a three-day horseback exploration of the Cilo and Sat mountains, traversing high-altitude routes, glaciers, and the Berçelan Plateau. The initiative aimed to showcase the region’s geography and traditional nomadic lifestyles to a wider audience via social media.

Following this, in October, the association organized trekking and climbing excursions, including a trip for a visitor from Germany to the Sat Lakes area and Kerez Summit. These activities continue to focus on increasing environmental awareness and highlighting landmarks such as Sat Sivrisi and the Sılö plateaus.
