Some suggestions on your August tour to Iran
- Paalangan” is an old touristic village in Kurdistan province with an amazing architecture, which is located in a deep valley with a wild river flowing through. The houses in “Paalangan” are built on the two sides of the river in the form of stairs, which means that a house’s roof is the ground yard of another house, which is built on top. Enjoying the cool weather and great local foods like great barbequed trout fish and different kinds of kebabs and also hospitable Kurd people make this village so enjoyable that you won’t like to leave.
- ”Kelardasht” is a city in Mazandaran province, located on the hill sides of “Alamkooh”, the second highest peak in Iran (4850 meters high) with many hotels and villas. Walking in vast green jungles and breathing humid and fresh air makes you feel like a new born. You can also ride paragliders and fly over this green heaven or you can ride horses on the wealds.
- Canyoning and white water rafting are adventurous activities during hot days of August in Iran. The heights of Zagros mountain range and its wild rivers with cold water lead to these exhilarating activities and you can easily find such tours during summer in Iran.
