Mount Ağrı (Mount Ararat) is a snow-capped and dormant compound volcano in Türkiye's extreme east. It is made up of two major volcanic cones called Greater Ağrı and Little Ağrı. Greater Ağrı is the highest peak in Türkiye, standing at 5,137 meters (16,854 feet); Little Ağrı stands at 3,896 meters (12,782 ft).

Since the Middle Ages, the mountain has been known as Ararat in Europe. Most Christians associate Mount Ararat with the biblical "mountains of Ararat" mentioned in Genesis 8:4; God chose this location for the landing of the Noah Ark. The story of Noah's Ark and its landing on Mount Ararat is important to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The Turkish name is Ağrı Dağı. This name has been known since the late Middle Ages. The 17th century explorer Evliya Çelebi referred to it as Ağrî in the Seyahatnâme.

Mount Ağrı, with its glaciers, geological formations, people, and snow-covered mountain meadows, has an enticing, almost magical appearance.

The climb is long, but in late summer, there is a relatively easy route from the south for climbers who are comfortable with an axe and crampons. The last 400 meters are always covered in snow, and the glacier begins around 4,800 meters (15,750 ft). On the mountain, there are two possible camping spots.

You'll need sleeping bags rated for temperatures ranging from -5 to -10 degrees Celsius, an anorak, a wind jacket, other camping gear, and important supplies. Permission is required to climb Mount Ağrı and/or Little Ağrı, and climbers must begin their journey from the following points.
- Only the portion of Mount Ağrı's face that lies within the confines of the Dogubeyazit district is accessible for ascents, and climbers must travel via the Dogubeyazit - Topcatan village - Eli Ciftligi route.
- Only the northwest face of Little Ararat can be used for ascents.
