Overview
You will experience a fabulous trip combination of adventure and cultural tours through Iran Classic route and trekking in a remote area with a wild nature. A memorable journey through the historical city of Shiraz. This tour will take you to the ancient time of Iran; the Great Persia Empire which is a must to visit. In this trip you will get known more about Iran traditions, customs and Persian civilization. You will also visit the masterpieces of Iranian architecture and art.
The most amazing part is trekking in Dena biosphere reserves. It takes you through a national park in a non-touristic region in the heart of Zagros mountain ranges. Zagros is a huge part of our country from north west to south east which is less known and Dena mountain chain with the highest summit 4418 and 40 summits above 4000 m height is the most important part of that. Crossing across this national park needs to apply entry permit from Environment Organization and through this trail you will cross deep valleys and visit waterfalls and rivers. You will also visit several villages with lots of gardens and farms around with kind local people living there. Getting an idea about locals’ life style and taste their traditional cuisine would be another advantage of this trip.
This tour is a moderate one according to the level of difficulty; so any traveler with a general physical fitness can join it.
