Some suggestions on your November tour to Iran
- In November, hiking in northern hilly jungles is highly recommended. “Jangal-e-Abr” (cloud forest) is a stunning natural destination, located near Gorgan, in Golestan province. After few hours hiking through the trees and getting pleased by narrow light beams shining on your face, you can reach top of the jungle higher than clouds, where you see a golden and red eternal forest that gets covered with a vast sea of clouds in the afternoon. Landscape of “Jangal-e-abr” from top can be named as the most beautiful autumn view in Iran.
- Qalat is a historical and touristic village near Shiraz which has been built on the hill side of a mountain with many waterfalls but today there is only one remaining. Its interesting architecture and golden autumn view has caused Qalat to be a popular place for both Iranians and foreign tourists.
- walking along the old streets with long rows of trees is a relaxing activity in November. “Vali-Asr” street in Tehran, “Eram” street in Shiraz and “Chahar-baaq” in Isfahan are good choices.
Pomegranate festival is held in November in towns of Gilan province. This symbolic feast shows the local people’s happiness and gratitude for having plenty of pomegranate as their harvest. Pomegranate is known as the fruit of heaven in Iran.
