What are the different types of nature tours?

Just in the middle of the Dasht-e Kavir Desert in Isfahan province, where you are astonished by the endless golden sand, you will be enchanted by the Varzaneh Desert even more. Flowing sands are the most attractive aspect of this beautiful area. The dance of glittering sparkles under sunlight leaves every visitor speechless. It is vital to have a professional tour guide accompany you in Varzaneh Desert to show you around and keep you safe.

This outstanding beauty shows itself once again when you see the patterns that running sands left behind. As Dr. Alfons Gabriel once said, “Anyone enchanted by the desert’s charm will not be released until the end of his life.”

Lar National Park

For visiting a diverse group of beautiful wild animals which are in danger of extinction, you should hike to the Lar national park, which is a protected area for fauna and flora.

No matter what time your Iran Travel takes place, you can always find a landscape for trekking and fall in love with Iran’s nature.

What are the best trekking spots in Iran?

Sahand Mountain

Sahand is a unique mountain in Iran. This dormant volcanic mountain is covered with dirt and grass, unlike the typical mountains that are covered with rocks. The mountain is located in East Azerbaijan. The cold weather of that district makes it a perfect place to trek during summers. Not only visitors but also nomads appreciate Sahand mountain since the green hills, and the pleasant weather of this mountain makes it a perfect place for nomads to live during hot seasons.

Climbing to the peak of the mountain and looking at the hills, the vivid color of flowers takes all the exhaustion away. The feeling is like looking at a postcard from a dear friend.

On your way to the mountain, the Kandovan village is definitely worth visiting. The houses of this strange village are made of volcanic elements. People carved these giant stones and made their houses inside them, which look like caves. The name of this village means beehives, and villagers claim that Kandovan was built years ago to protect Iranians from the Mongolian army.

The unique structure of these buildings has made them one of the best ecohouses in the world and created a mindblowing atmosphere for tourists as well.

Uraman Village & Zarivar Lake

Being located in the west of Iran, Kurdistan is one of the fascinating places on earth where high mountains, gorgeous lakes, and quaint villages attract tourists every year.

Finding your way in the middle of the mountains, you should visit Uraman Village to witness the steplike row of houses in the middle of the green rocky mountain, which is undeniably mind-blowing. Needless to say that staying in a house, you get to wake up every morning with a view of green hills that are glowing under sunshine.

Zarivar Lake is another popular place in Kurdistan, which you should not miss. Trekking there, you can experience boat riding in the middle of summer and enjoy the pleasant weather of Kurdistan or visit it in the coldest days of winter when the lake is frozen over.

Lut Desert & Polvar Mountain

Kerman can surprise every visitor by a variety of climates and landscapes. This central province possesses a part of the hottest place on earth, Kavir-e Lut, inside and is blessed with green fields and rivers as well.

Trekking to Kerman, you can see Polvar Mountain standing strong while the white snow has covered its peak even from the city. For having a hiking adventure, you should climb the mountain and look at the green hills, which are covered with tiny flowers and plants, mostly in spring and summer. Going to the peak, you see that flowing melted snow creates multiple streams and finds its way to Rood-e Sefid and Chat Rood.

Zard Kuh Mountain

Zard Kuh is located in the Zagros Mountain Range. Being covered with snow almost year-round makes this mountain a primary water source for Iran. The water of Zayandeh Rood of Isfahan comes from Zard Kouh and gives life to plants, creatures, and cities. Also, the hills of the mountains are covered with green plants and flowers during spring, making it a perfect place for nomads to stay.

The spectacular landscape of Zard Kouh and the snowy slope make this mountain a perfect place for skiing as well.

Alborz Mountain Range

Alborz Mountain Range is what you do not want to miss traveling to Iran. From the west to the east, Alborz Mountain Range stands like a strong enchanting rocky wall between the Caspian Sea and two big deserts of Kavir and Lut. Every village, mountain, and hill in Alborz is spectacularly astonishing.

The climate difference in this particular area has created a diversity of natural wonders. Visiting this road, you can see the ocean of clouds and utter greenness in Mazandaran province on one side, and the rocky and desert landscapes on the other.

Alam Kouh and Takht-e Soleyman are two fascinating mountains in Alborz range which allow you to see a green blanket decorated with yellow flowers. The landscape is so eye-catching that convinces you to stay there for hours and take pictures.

When you are traveling to Alborz, Taleghan Valley in central Alborz, is worth visiting as well. The charming green hills have surrounded a dam to create an outstanding landscape. ٍEven if the shortage of time does not let you explore different parts of Alborz range, having a one day tour to Taleghan Dam can persuade you to come back.

Alamut, The Valley of Assassins

The valley of assassins or Alamut is located between the Caspian Sea and Alborz Mountain. Trekking this magical place in all four seasons has its unique beauty. During spring, flowers and cherry blossoms along with flowing streams represent an exceptional beauty. However, if you are planning to visit Alamut during autumn, you will be surprised by the vivid color of trees. The yellow, orange and red combine together and etches this image in your mind.

The story behind the name of this place is quite impressive. During the Ismaili state, a leader named Hassan-ii Sabbah created an army of assassins to kill his enemies. His castle was located in Alamut, so this place is named after him and what he did.

Ghale Roudkhan or the Roudkhan castle attracts tourists as well. This extraordinary building is located in the heart of Fuman Forest, and getting there is not easy since it is located on the top of a high hill. In order to go to the castle, you need to climb the long staircase, but getting to the castle and witnessing this historical building is worth it.

Damavand Mountain

“The roof of Iran” is the best phrase to describe the value of Damavand Mountain for Iranians. Looking at Damavand with its snowy peak from Tehran is delightful, but exploring the gorgeous green hills and natural water sprouts of it would be a lifetime memory. Even on the hottest day of summer, Damavand has the most pleasant weather to let you enjoy the contrast between the delicate copes flowers and the vivid green background.

Visiting Damavand mountain, you may have the chance to see different types of birds such as golden eagles.

Sabalan Mountains

Iranians call Sabalan mountains the sacred mountain because of the vast green field covered with gentle red copes flowers that are the symbol of martyrdom in Iranian culture. Not only because of the story behind it, but the mountain itself also has much to offer.

At the hills of this volcanic mountain, there is a gorgeous lake that is mostly surrounded by snow. The color of the lake looks cyan because of the volcanic compositions; therefore, no living creature can survive in the water.

Talysh Mountain

To experience an incredible journey, Talysh Mountain can show you the authentic beauty of nature and drown you in the ocean of greenness. Talysh is located in Gilan and Ardabil province.

The heavy mist of the area, along with dense forests, makes the place mysterious yet tranquil.

One of the best places for trekking in Talysh is Subatan, where clouds are beneath you and nothing but wild horses can distract you from this pure aesthetic ambiance. On your way to Subatan, you can visit Varzan Waterfall, as well. This fantastic natural waterfall makes the area a perfect place for nomads. The diversity of plants in Varzan persuade you to explore the place inch by inch and enjoy the beauty of colors while listening to the relaxing sound of water.

When Is The Best Time to Visit Iran?

Generally speaking, spring (March to May) and fall (Sep to Oct) are the best time to visit Iran as you’ll skip the flaming heat of the summer and the winter cold. However, Iran is the second-largest country in the Middle East and is known as a four-season land, so it still has a lot to offer even during winter and summer. Visit our blog to find out where to visit during each season in Iran.

Festivals and special occasions are the other factors that should have an eye on when planning your trip to Iran. Nowruz, the Iranian New Year (21st of March for 2 weeks) is the holiday that Iranians usually go on a trip. That means during Nowruz the prices hike and hotels sell out fast so if you are planning to visit Iran during this period make sure to at least book your accommodations in advance. Also during the religious month of Ramadan (dates vary each year), drinking and eating in public is forbidden and most shops and restaurants are closed before sunset so it is advised not to choose this month for traveling to Iran.
