Bitlis, a region known for its natural beauty, historical sites, and outdoor attractions in Türkiye, has been a popular destination for tourists, both local and international, during the summer. Visitors have flocked to places like Nemrut Crater Lake, Aygır Lake, and Süphan Mountain. While there has been an increase in campers, it’s worth noting that the rise in bear populations in some areas has led to changes in camper behavior and preferences. Despite challenges, such as encounters with bears, Bitlis continues to draw tourists, including international visitors from countries like Switzerland, Germany, Norway, and Finland, who are increasingly interested in camping in the region, particularly around Mount Süphan and the Lake Van Basin.
