Cilo Dağı is part of the 30 km long Cilo mountain range.^[3] The Uludoruk (4135 m), located in the immediate vicinity (4 km away), is the second highest mountain in Turkey. In 1984, the area was closed to civilians. It was not until 2002 that a team of mountaineers was authorized to climb again the Cilo mountains.^[4]
