Dena Mountains and National Park Trek

Dena is the name of a mountain chain located in the middle part of the Zagros mountain range in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province of Iran which is in the north of Shiraz province. The length is about 90 km with 40 mountains above 4000m and it’s one of the best locations for Trekking in Iran. On the foothills of the chains, there is a national park with the same name (DENA) which is a protected area and home to a lot of wild animals with a rich environment as it has a lot of plants and a huge oak forest.

It’s under the conservation of the Iran Environment Organization. Dena region is a very important destination as it is between the two main touristic cities of Shiraz and Isfahan and it’s a marvelous location for those who are interested in hiking in Iran and would like to combine it with Iran Classic Routes. It’s the perfect itinerary for Iran first-timers who want to do Cultural and historical tours along with Iran’s main UNESCO Heritage sites.

Adventure Iran is the first company to create different trekking routes in this region for different fitness levels from a 2-day moderate trek up to a one-week challenging trek on the ridgeline to ascend a few peaks above 4000 m. We have also made a few trips which are a combination of trekking and cultural explorations. Some tours start from Shiraz and some of them start from Tehran.

The clip is a short slideshow from a few of our trips that we performed in different years for hikers from different countries and it just gives you an idea about the scenery and landscape of this amazing destination. For those who are interested in moderate treks, we recommend our trip to the park which is in the lower part of the mountains in the foothills, and for those who are interested in challenging or strenuous treks, we pick a couple of peaks for their adventure holiday in Iran.

The best season for moderate hikers in the low altitudes starts in March and ends in November which is the trek in the altitude between 2000m3000m.  For those who are thinking about high peaks, the season starts in May and finishes around September. To enter the national park and Dena region we have to give a permit for international travelers to perform the tour and it takes between one to two weeks depending on the time of travel.

We use a combination of local houses and tents for accommodation when we are inside of the park and for the trek, in the ridgeline, we use the shelter for the first night and tents for other nights. We will carry the camping equipment and your backpacks with the mule for your trek. Hope you enjoy the video and if you like it subscribe to our channel to see more of the beauty of our country.
