About Us

We like to briefly introduce ourselves and talk a bit about our backgrounds and the ‎reasons for creating Adventure Iran. ‎

Adventure Iran is a specialized tour operating company and was formed by founders who ‎have had a varied mix of experiences in this field working from Iran and North America, ‎but are presently all based in Iran. The company is part of a larger Travel Organization ‎called Kooch Travel Group whickh is focused on providing a variety of travel experiences ‎for Iranians and non-Iranians living in the country. The main web site for Kooch Travel Group is    Http://www.kooch.ir    which is in Persian and is designed mostly for domestic ‎customers offering tours inside the country and to a variety of places in the wider world. ‎Our entire operations and names are contained in these 2 sites only. We are not ‎connected to any other operation that might have similar names or similar web sites.‎

The founders are 3 individuals who collectively have decided to create a specialized ‎Adventure Tour company focused on Iran due to their appropriate backgrounds and ‎experiences in this field.

Mr. Nader Jalinoos has spent over 20 years in the United States where he conducted and ‎managed numerous backpacking, mountaineering, mountain-bike and kayak tours ‎throughout North, Central and South America. He has had 3 solid years conducting and ‎leading adventure tours in the US and many years of individual and private adventure ‎travel throughout the North and South American continent.

The second partner Mr. Reza Zarei has been based in Iran and is a distinguished ‎mountaineer with outstanding accomplishments. He has had 4 successful summit climbs ‎on four 8000 meter peaks of Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu and Lhotse, plus numerous ‎other peaks in the 7000 meter range. He has 9 year experience as chief expedition leader ‎and organizer and 5 years as head instructor and director for the Iranian mountaineering ‎federation managing the entire youth development and training program for the best ‎upcoming young mountaineers.‎

Our last founder Mr. Mehrdad Mike Eskenasi is a computer engineer and business man by ‎background who has supervised and developed our web site and all our e-marketing ‎efforts. In his spare time he has been a leading mountaineer, rock climber, skier and ‎trekking guide in Iran and has a vast knowledge of people, places and hidden gems that is ‎knowledge hard won and little known outside of a select group inside the country.‎

These individuals decided that collectively they could create and offer a collection of ‎special trips that so far have been lacking in this part of the world and have the potential to ‎open up Iran to a larger audience who before had no idea that the country has such ‎variety of landscapes and fascinating journeys that combine physically challenging routes ‎with experiencing traditional ways of life still prevalent in the back country.‎

We are passionate about our work and excited to share our love for travel and the land ‎with like minded active people from all over the world. For us it is extremely rewarding to ‎share part of ourselves and our experiences with like minded adventure travelers who we ‎are certain will never forget these trips – experiences that will challenge them physically ‎and enrich their lives. ‎

We believe that we have created a truly unique company that offers programs that show ‎you parts of the country seldom traveled and immerses you in the local culture. Our ‎adventures provide a perfect blend of physical activity combined with cultural and ‎ecological awareness.

Adventure Iran specializes in small group Multi-sport Adventures. Every trip itinerary is ‎different and combines a range of activities from mountain biking, trekking and ‎mountaineering to horseback trips, camel rides, desert adventures, and traveling with ‎nomadic pastoralists.
 ‎
We have a Trip Rating system which is called level of difficulty discussed in detail ‎elsewhere. It is clearly understood that people come in all fitness levels so we have ‎graded our trips accordingly. There are four levels: Easy, Moderate, Challenging and ‎Strenuous. In this manner there is something to suit the needs of all adventurers.

Each one of our journeys has been carefully designed to capture the very best of that ‎particular destination. We travel at a comfortable pace, stay in a mix of tents, small hotels, ‎village huts and occasionally a remote home that comes fully equipped with a welcoming ‎family that is happy to see you and eager for every one to sample their home cooking and ‎their hospitality.‎
