Iranian cultural visits and cities can be a little repetitive and perhaps tedious after a period. If you wish to take a break and go into nature, perhaps ride a bike then we offer mountain bike hire in northern Iran.

Beautiful oak forest of the southern Zagros with lush green meadows, interesting looking limestones carved out by the forces of nature are  in our vista, there is one that must be 25 m high in the shape of a mushroom, amazing!. We climb up a very steep scree only for Mehdi to tell us that we have taken the wrong path ! It is getting dark. We wait and he continues to see if he can find the trail leading to the first nomadic settlement, they call these Maal. Last time he came to this area was over 5 years ago so he could be forgiven for mistaking the path. Soon he comes back t...
