MTB routes :
There are 2 bikes available for hire; a simple MTB with no forks suitable for rides around Khoonegeli and a professional MTB with front suspension FOX 120mm.You are welcome to bring your own!
Day rides: 1. Khoonegeli Aghuzhal down to Dohezar Road, a difficult route through a quiet dirt road that leaves Khoonegeli southwards uphill and descends via the Dohezar road further east. Total km
45. The route can be done up to Aghuzhal at 1200m in 3–4 hours and back in 45 minutes downhill.
2. Khoonegeli-Falakdeh. This is a medium route that can either start from Khoonegeli or if you do not want to cycle on busy tarmac take the bike and start in Goleyj Pol. The forest road, after a few kilometres of tarmac passing through quiet small settlements, becomes a dirt road and after 3 hours reaches a few huts. Carrying the bike on a steep downhill forest slope you reach the riverside next to which lies a cave with sulphur spring water dripping from the ceiling!
3. Khoonegeli-Gazane Chal. This a very strenuous ride through a forest road that lies east of Khoonegeli. The altitude difference is almost 1800m, it is only possible to accomplish in one day there and back in the summer.
Multi day rides:
4. Khoonegeli-Alamut, This is a multi-day mountain bike ride from Khoonegeli to the Alamut Valley. The altitude difference is some 3100m which is reached in day 2. The road under construction through the Sehezar valley is an unpaved road with sharp turns and steep sections which makes this an enduring ride. Night 1 would be spent in Maran in a local home, night 2 in Piche Bon in a local home and day 3 spent exploring the Alamut Valley with several options thereafter i.e visiting Atan and Andaj, Gazorkhan and the main Assasin’s castle, Evan Lake and the surrounding area.
5. Khoonegeli Haris-Alamut. An alternative to route 4.
