Winter hiking in Iran

It may be hard to believe, but here, close to where we live in Khoonegeli you may experience winter landscape like few other places on earth. A short drive and a day hike will take you to remote mountain villages where you would spend the nights in cosy rural homes with wood fire and trek the area on foot or using your snowshoes during the day. The silence and the landscape is far beyond anyone's imagination of Iran.
