This is one of the most diverse and interesting Adventure Iran tours. Combining hiking through natural and historical sites, the trail stretches across several Eco zones and includes ridge walks with spectacular views of the forest area below, the sea in the distance and the Alborz Mountains all around. At some points you can even see the desert in the neighboring Turkmenistan. On the tour we will pass the Great Wall of Gorgan and you will have an opportunity to see the lifestyle of local Turkmen people, famous for their colorful clothes and a beautiful breed of steppe horses, known as Turkoman or Akhal-Teke. Depending on the season, we may witness bird migration and enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Caspian Sea coastal areas. The journey starts with an amazing train ride from Tehran over the spectacular Veresk Bridge towards the Caspian Sea and ends in Tehran as well.
