Top Three-Climate Hiking Tour in Iran 2024
Isn’t hiking across the depth of dense forests, through the sand dunes of the desert and up mountainous villages the rare experience you’ve been looking for? Believe it or not, with the biodiversity of such a small region, Semnan Province, you can astonishingly move from sandy desert to deep jungle and from there to cold mountains. This hiking tour offers nature lovers exploration through the 10 million-year-old Hyrcanian forest (UNESCO-listed and home to the endangered Persian leopard) as well as discovery of the beauties of desert and mountains.
The mountains and the forests are cold this time of year, so why not spend most of the time in the desert? First, enjoy the serenity of the desert near Reza Abad village. The village also offers dryland attractions like camel riding, buying kilims woven by local women and staying at a traditional accommodation. After the desert adventure, enter Mojen village in the world of cold snowy mountains and get fascinated with its lovely terraced plan, blissful nature and traditional handicrafts. Then enjoy the fantasy view of clouds under your feet in the treasured part of Hyrcanian forests, Abr forest (Cloud Forest). This region is home to a variety of animals- from brown bears and wolves to eagles and pigeons. Yet the region’s magnetism is not just for its diverse nature, but also for the rich history and Sufism culture that you’ll get to know.
