Wonders of Iran
 

Hi,

we plan a 4x4 trip to the middle east region. To be more specific: Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran.

Our main goal is the Pamir, but afterwards we want to spend the time in Iran. Do you have some good tips on what to do there.



Things like:

- Cultural places,

- Riding (horse or camel :) )

- Climbing routes / Boulder areas

- Hiking routes/Areas

- Desert tracks



Greatfully looking forward to your suggestions

Hi Monkfish

Do not miss:

Yazd
Shiraz
Isfahan
Small village of Gurmah in East as base for trips into Dassht E Kabir

To much to see and do to be able to write it all down. Try and get a Lonely Planet Iran which is as good as any.

Brilliant place to tour and full of brilliant people(incl police and army)bier

Thanks a lot! I will have a look right away

Monkfood, some of the highlights for me in Iran (and there were many) were Bam, Shiraz, Isfahan, Yazd and Mohamed's place in Toudeshk. The restored city of Bam is an incredible sight and well worth visiting in the east.
Another great area if you have the time is in Northern Iran. The mountain areas are spectacular. Caspian Tours (Farzin) & his homestay Khoone Geli recommended if you enjoy hiking and local hospitality. As with every country, it's the people who enrich the experience. I travelled solo on a 102 year old motorcycle from Nepal to Belgium 3 years ago, via India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey etc. Check out my blog or pick up a copy of my book, No Room for Watermelons. Enjoy your travels!

Sadly I won't make it because of an accident (I should be in Iran right now) but I was looking forward to a trip to see Alamut Castle - the castle of the Assassins http://www.lonelyplanet.com/iran/gaz...-alamut-castle & http://www.persianvoyages.com/alamut-castle/
