Cilo - Sat Mountain Range The Cilo-Sat mountains are located in the southeastern Hakkari region and form the eastern section of the Toros mountain chain. They run along Turkey's southern boundaries and are a part of the Himalayan mountain belt. Uludoruk, which rises to 4136 meters, is one of the highest points in the Cilo mountain, while Catalkaya at 3794 meters towers over the Sat mountain. The appearance and glacier topography of the Cilo-Sat mountains are reminiscent of the Alps. These high altitudes bear witness to the effects of glacial formation and water erosion. The region boasts ten glaciers, the largest of which is Izbirak. It is five kilometers long, 500-600 meters wide, and reaches a depth of up to 100 meters at its peak. The alpine meadows found at altitudes between 2000 and 3100 meters serve as the primary pastures for livestock in the region. The climate of the Cilo-Sat mountains is both fascinating and magnificent. As a geological phenomenon, the peaks attract visitors from around the world during the summer months. As part of a national park, the winter months offer ideal climbing conditions that allow visitors to experience an equally captivating lifestyle. The culture in this region of Turkey is called "yayla" and has evolved on the Cilo and Sat mountains, which are a vast plateau. The migration of locals to high pastures during the summer is especially noteworthy, as these areas are teeming with brightly dressed people who have draped colorful textiles over themselves. Natural wonders such as glaciers, swiftly-running rivers, and beautiful glacier lakes occupy a sort of mythical place within Turkish culture due to their beauty despite their often harsh natural state.
