Suggestions for a trip in Shahrivar

If you like forests, our option is Alimestan forests.
Can you imagine going out of the hot paved streets in the capital and get to a place lined with lush trees in a foggy weather?
Now, to your surprise, it’s not quite far and you can spend a whole day trip . The heaven is right around the corner.
Alimestan boasts pristine landscapes with a peak where a lot of mountains go up there in spring and winter. Naghseh-e Pay-e Rostam is also a highlight where two large meteorites hit the earth but locals believe that it’s a place where Rostam ( in Shahname) spread his knees.

Off to observatory
Lalun gorge
The beautiful skies filled with stars and the shining moon is interesting enough to astronomy buffs to take a two-day tour in Matin Abad desert. You not only get to see the dessert and stay there but you can also pay a visit to an underground city named Ooi; just like what you see in the movies.
The two-day trip there starts at 5 am towards Badrud in Kashan and gives you enough time to roam around in the desert. On the first night you can build a fire and watch the skies. On the second day, you’ll get to have a camel riding and visit the city of Ooi.

Danial cave
Caving is fascinating to some and that’s why tours have explored tens of small and large caves around Tehran and in the north.
Lying in a woody land, the natural cave is quite interesting to adventure lovers. It’s the only limestone cave with a creek inside where you can stroll.
You should get ready for a wet experience once in.

Shur Mast
Some lakes in the north are quite famous in only one season. Shurmast is among those which offers a pristine and intact nature in spring and summer and that’s why it’s become popular for tours.
It’s quite popular as the path towards it is not tough and almost everybody can pay a visit.
The tour also offers a wander around the forests in Savadkuh , surrounding the lake, which makes the trip more interesting.
Generally, those who are not interested in excitement and would like to experience the beauty of forests and lake are recommended to go.

A colorful spring
Badab Surt is totally different from all the springs you’ve ever visited. The colorful spring is on the national register, as the second greatest natural site in Iran. The tours which come to this destination pay a visit to the forest lake of Surt too. That’s why they are both mentioned on advertising catalogues for nature wandering tours.
The plan would be to spend the first day strolling through forests towards the lake and to stay there overnight , pitching tent beside the lake. On the second day you will pay a visit to the springs of Badab Surt in Kiasar to wrap up your trip.

Talesh summer villages
You might not like to take tours on a bus since you don’t have enough money and time to take trip . So you would probably enjoy wandering in a patrol in the depths of the forests . The roads to the summer villages in Talesh are a suitable spot to hit the road and drive your car through a woody area in the north . You can stop where it’s foggy.
You won’t have to be stuck in your car throughout the trip; exciting scenery like beside the waterfalls and bank of the rivers or in mountains makes you get off and have a stroll . You might even like to sleep in forests overnight. It’s not recommended to non-adventurous travelers, though.
