Cilo Dağı is part of Cilo mountain range, which is 30 km (19 mi) long.[3] The Uludoruk (4,135 m (13,566 ft)), located in the immediate vicinity (4 km (2.5 mi) 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]
