For treks there are 3 price options A, B and C

A)  you trek with a local guide who speaks only Farsi.

B)   you trek with an English speaking guide if and when available.

C)   I join the trek. I often guide the day hikes, the cultural visits and join large groups on multi day treks. However, given sufficient notice I am happy to join any expedition.

Mules or horses for transporting backpacks are only available on some routes and at an extra cost, please enquire.

Day hikes have a fixed rate and applies for 3 sharing i.e. 4 with the guide sharing the same car for getting to and from the starting/finishing point, usually Khoonegeli.


Multi day treks have a fixed daily rate which is for the guide, his meals, his transport, plus any extra day(s) he may need to walk or travel to get to the start of the trek or go back home after the trek ends (for one way multi day treks). The rate depends partially on the altitude and the degree of difficulty of the trek and also the guide. Meals and hiring of equipment such as tents, trekking poles and mats when available are charged per equipment.

Please note:-
You are advised to bring your own sleeping bag, mat and especially trekking poles if you are used to using them. Other personal items such as headlamps, hydration packs etc. are the responsibility of each individual. I will provide the guide, tent, food, cups and bowls and other utensils, gas and transportation. The sleeping bags for rent are suitable for milder temperatures (minimum 8-10 degrees Celsius).

Providing information about yourselves for example; age, fitness, previous trekking experience, equipment, any chronic medical issues, interests such as local culture, flora or challenging high altitude summits etc. when making the initial enquiry will save time and help plan a more adequate trek
