It's one of the most incredible places I've ever seen.
Two temples on the east and west side of the mountain with huge size statues. The east side is better preserved. The embankment itself is said to contain the tomb of Antiochus.
The mountain is a hard climb, almost two kilometres up a pretty steep slope, breathtaking, and cold out there. Still, it's worth it! Absolutely incredible in grandeur, beauty and, I would say, mysticism, place.
It's supposed to take müze kart, but nobody asked us anything. It's probably just that at 5:00 a.m. (we were taken to the foot of the mountain early in the morning to meet dawn) no one works there.
The general recommendations are like this - calculate your strength, take warm clothes (after climbing, when it gets hot from effort, start to freeze) and don't take children - hard, and drive there on a cool serpentine, boggles even adults.

My visit to Mount Nemrut was a standout moment on my trip. The sheer historical value of the massive stone heads, thrones, and the ancient site is awe-inspiring. The hike to the top is a bit challenging, especially if you aim for sunrise or sunset (which I highly recommend), but the views make it absolutely worth it.
There’s also a new museum on site. While it’s still a work in progress and currently a bit boring, it’s great to see efforts being made to enhance the experience. The real highlight, though, is the incredible views from the dining deck, which offers stunning scenery to enjoy your tea.
Bring sturdy shoes for the hike and a jacket, as it gets quite windy at the summit. If you’re into ancient history or just looking for breathtaking views, Mount Nemrut is a must-see!
I will also add that these are the original statues. They’re not replicas with the “real” ones in a museum. Very impressive.

So very historic. Even our friends who are born nearby in Adiyaman are ethnically connected the the ancient Commagenes kingdom!!! This is rare in Turkiye as most places pre Islam are uninteresting to locals. I live in Turkiye. You can argue if you want. It’s true. The statues are so telling about their desire to project power. It’s so far away from everything else. We went at sunset. Perfect! There was a storm brewing and the sun set under it so we could get a view of the entire mountain range. I highly recommend both “Terraces” on both sides of the mountain. The pre Roman carvings were amazing!! Don’t let the locals tell you earthquakes caused the statues to fall. There have been multiple iconoclast peoples both Muslim and Christian who have torn down statues and destroyed faces.

I went to Malatya and based on Lonelyplanet recommendation I have contacted this amazing local guide who came pick me up from the bus station (even if I had two hours delayed he was kind to wait without making problems) and brought me to the Nemrut hostel. We went to see the sunrise, and all the other sightseeing of this mesmerizing region. I must say, I found this experience one of the best part of my trip as it was so connected to the local reality thanks to Ramo, who is a local guide with a taxi and a van. His prices are honest and his proposal to take pictures of me went this trip an amazing memory to keep.
I am copy pasting his contact info in case someone is going to Malatya for Nemrut
We went to Nemrut Dagri (sunrise), then toward breakfast, to Roma castle, Arsemia antiacos summer palace, Cender bridge, and then Karakuş tümülus. Then we headed toward south on request.

Seeing Mount Nemrut is one of the reasons we came to Turkye and we were not disappointed. We parked the car at the visitor's center and then went uphill about 600 meters where the ruins are located, on the West and East Terraces. If you come at sunrise or in the first part of the day, it is the East Terrace that is in sun and thus suitable for some decent photos, while the same applies to the West Terrace in the afternoon and at sunset. Located at about 2,150m meter altitude, the entire place is the funerary mound of King Antiochus I of Commagene, built in about 62BC. The fallen heads of colossal statues representing various Greco-Persian deities are scattered throughout the site. It's an impressive view, very well worth your effort and time.

Ancient history at its best. The climb to the top is not for faint hearted. It was a 45 minute climb to the summit but worth it. The sunset is beautiful and amazing with the ruins reflecting the last rays of sunshine as it disappears behind the horizon.

After a long drive up a never ending road you arrive at the Mount Nemrut museum, from there you buy your tickets and continue to drive up the hill. Once you've gone as far as you can its a bit of a trek up the last of the hill. I would recommend going up the left side and not the right, the path is a lot easier to manage.
Once youre at the summit, well no words can really explain, its breath taking, its amazing. Well worth a visit. It does get a little chilly up there even in the height of summer and the air is thin, which can hard for some people.
I would highly recommend it. Its a super magical and mystical place.

If you ever want to get rubbed go there! People there all about money and all on euros !!! So they picked me up from the airport 100 euro to drop me off to Karadut Pension Nemrut where i stayed it was around half an hour far as when you get there you will never find any type of transport so I arranged with the guy am staying with and I thought it's nice gesture but no it was really expensive one and because no shops there you have to eat and drink with them which also cost me 200 euros for 2 days and then to take me to Namrud also cost me another 200 euros and when you try to discuss the price as extortion then thier become aggressive and they threat you to pay on euros or something will happen to you and off course because you are in the middle of nowhere and also no Internet then you need to give them the money In that point I had no extra money I planned it out in turkish lira plus not all that money so I ended up phoning home so they transfer me money after I begged the guy whom am paying to take me to their town to get my money from western union Point which was in a different town 2 hours away by car and I never panicked or felt scared like then , I have to give my money to someone I don't even know who kept threatening me , I am not even sure in that point if he's taking me to collect the money or kidnapping me and most of all am loosing my flight and that means I will sleep in middle of nowhere with no food , drink or money to get my next flight ....it was a nightmare!!!!!

Nemrut is a must see place when visiting Southeast Turkey. It’s truely breathtaking especially at dusk and dawn when the sun just shines on these magnificient statues. I recommend that you come with a car who has a decent motor because the climb is quite challenging for a small car. And definetely bring walking shoes and some water because you need to climb the last part of the way

We did the sunset hike (climb) to basically the summit. It is not hard and there is a "sidewalk" (kind of) and it will take you 20-40 minutes from your final park position to get to the final location. You will be amazed at what you see regarding the stone work and figures and then put it in the framework of the time created. Also, take note of the date that was left "unknown" until it was re-discovered. Truly a must but off the beaten path. A great way to spend a last day and sunset on a middle Turkey trip.

3. Can it be covered in a day trip?
4. What are the approximate charges to visit?
Many thanks in advance :)

I visited last week solo but I’m male. I would honestly say there would be no problem visiting as a solo female. I bumped into a few. The closest airport is in the City of Adiyamen but I flew to Sanliurfa as I also wanted to visit Gobekli Tepe, the biblical town of Harran and Sanliurfa itself. There are two excellent museums in Sanliurfa entrance fee to both goals Tl 40….. I honestly cannot remember the fee to trek up Nemrut but I believe it too was Tl 40. I stayed in a village pension in Karadut ( nearest village to Nemrut ) in Isik Pansiyon for €15 a night including breakfast. I opted for a 6 hour private tour of Nemrut and all the other fascinating sites provided by the owner, Murat Isik…which was well worth the approximate €40.

Merhaba,
Biz 31 temmuz sabahı gündoğumunu izledik. Sabah 5.35 sularında tam tepede idik. Ancak geceden gelenler halen orada beklemekte idi.
Basamaklarını saymadığım oldukça uzun merdivenleri çıkıyorsunuz. Temmuz sonu olmasına rağmen çok soğuktu. Sıkı giyinmekte fayda var. Tırmanma ayakkabısı şart. Yanınıza yük almayın ancak su, termosta çay veya kahve gerekli.
Yorucu çıkışa değecek bir manzara var. Rehber göremedik ancak levhalar az da olsa bilgilendiriyor.
Selametle...

Does anyone know if Mount Nemrut is accessible in January or all snowed in? I'd be traveling solo and was thinking of staying at the closest hostel and arrange a tour with them but there's no point in going if the attraction is closed anyway :/

Roads would be icy and snow covered (especially in the shadows of the mountains). Check local weather conditions before wasting your time and being stuck along the way. Wear lots of warm clothes, the cold wind will cut through easily.
