Since the area has a tranquil environment, more people are camping there every day, according to Bitlis Eren University (BEU) Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing Associate Professor Dr. Cihan nen, who has been studying the area for many years. Shedding light on Camping in Mount Nemrut, Dr. Nen stated,
“I have been observing the area for a long time. I also keep track of my discoveries. Lake Van and Nemrut Crater Lake are two amazing natural places in Bitlis. It also has a beautiful natural setting that frequently displays the breathtaking starry sky. Many tourists from Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Finland, and other European nations visit our nation.
Every day, more individuals are setting up camp in Bitlis and the surrounding area. In addition, I saw that local tourists regularly frequented the area. Due to an increase in the number of bears on the Nemrut Kaldra, there have recently been fewer campers in Nemrut. But I also noticed more travelers in the Lake Van basin and Mount Süphan basin.”
