Best time for trekking in Iran Iran, with countless mountains above 4000 m, in the two famous mountain ranges of Alborz and Zargros, may well be the ideal trekking destination for mountain lovers. The extraordinary length of these mountains has created very special climatic conditions for all seasons that allows trekkers to climb in various regions throughout the year. In addition, Iran has the two vast deserts of Dasht-e Kavir and Lut which are amazing destinations for those who would like to experience desert trekking and getting to know the life style of locals. These deserts were part of the ancient Silk Road. Besides mountains and deserts, Iran has two seas, the Persian Gulf in the south and the Caspian Sea in the north of the country. These seas make it possible to trek at any time, due to one sea area being pleasantly hot and the other being dry and cold. These weather conditions allow visitors to Iran to enjoy a four-season trekking holiday. With the above information, depending on the traveller’s interest and the trail’s level of difficulty, you have a wide range of options to choose from to find the most suitable trail for you. In Adventure Iran, we have a grade system for different physical levels. We categorize all treks based on the Level of Difficulty. We evaluate these levels according to the mountains’ altitude or length of the trail per day in the desert, or hours of activity during a day. Below is the most useful information for you based on difficulty.

Iran Classic Route The word CLASSIC got more and more popular as the Lonely Planet’s travel guide books used it for all of their main destinations and routes around the globe. Most travellers, who had limited time for their holiday, preferred to follow this route to visit the most famous parts of each country. For such a huge country like Iran, the Classic route covers only a fraction of it. Iran Classic route includes Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan, Yazd and Shiraz which are the most well-known tourist destinations in Iran and are stretched across a straight line from Tehran, in the southern part of the Caspian Sea, towards Shiraz which is in the northern part of the Persian Gulf. This ancient Persian travel route passes by 7 of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites out of the 24 which are among the most popular cultural and historical attractions in Iran. It’s possible to explore the Iran Classic route and most of Iran’s highlights in two weeks, but you have to move fast. Most travellers start this route from Tehran but some of them choose to start it from Shiraz. If you have even less time than two weeks to visit Iran, we recommend you fly to Tehran and eventually fly out of Shiraz or vice versa. The best time to follow this route is between March-May which is Iran’s high season when the weather is perfect for all cities. The majority of travellers visit here during this period. Also, autumn, (during September and November), is another ideal season for those who would like to join the Classic route. For those who would like to have an activity such as trekking, mountain biking or skiing, there are many different factors to consider. The activity level of your trip or the type of activity
