Trekking in Jiroft area, the "birth place" of civilization

I visited Jiroft some 20 years ago and on that occasion stayed on a remote farm house with a spectacular view over the mighty Jabal Barez Mountain range. The orangery belonged to Mr Tavakoli, the grand feudal of the region who happened to be the father of Shifteh, an old friend from London. For a week I went hiking and swimming in the pool of the local Qanat.

This week I talked to this friend and we have come up with a spectacular hiking route, this time through the Jabal Barez Mountain range and the summer villages. For this exploratory trip I may be able to take along a couple or 3 travellers to cover the cost of the trip.

We will link up with Shifte's family in Jiroft and hike the area over a few days.

We would also visit Konar Sandal one of the birth places of civilization from the Bronz Ages as well as other attractions of the area.

Jiroft civilization came to light in 2001 after broken pottery were discovered after a heavy flood of Halil Rood. Jiroft civilization is now believed to predate that of Babel and Sumer as the oldest civilization on earth.
