Sistan & Baluchestan Adventures The video is about our adventure journey to Sistan and Baluchestan, which is Iran's most special attraction. This trip started from Tehran with a night train towards Kerman. A jeep took the group to Dasht-e lut desert. After staying one night in the desert they continued the trip towards the north through Kalouts fantasy city in the heart of the desert. After exploring and doing some photography in the desert they drove towards Zabol city (north east of Sistan & Baluchistan) which is one of the main cities of the province and its nearby Afghanistan border (about 50 km). Zabol civilization has a lot of stories in Iranian history and Kuh-e Khuaja in Zabol, standing as one of the most important Iranian historical city-fortresses, pre-Islamic and early Islamic, in the region is on the tentative UNESCO sites of Iran.

In the morning they visited the ground Bazaar and the museum which is one of the biggest museums in the region. They had an excursion to the heights of Taftan Mountain which is the most important semi-active volcano of Iran which has an altitude around 4,000 meters above sea level. After visiting Zahedan and countryside attractions they traveled to Kalpuregan ancient village which is nearby from Saravan.

Mount Taftan in Iran Active Volcano Peak Nestled in the southeastern corner of Iran, near the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Mount Taftan stands as one of the country’s most fascinating natural wonders. This dormant stratovolcano, rising to an impressive 4,042 meters (13,261 feet), is not only a geological marvel but also a destination rich in myth, history, and adventure. For travelers seeking a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience, Mount Taftan offers a captivating blend of rugged landscapes, cultural significance, and thrilling outdoor activities. The massive Mount Taftan is situated only 70 km away from the Pakistan border. It is an isolated, active volcanic mountain located in Sistan and Baluchestan province. South of the mountain is Khash, the nearest city. Mt. Taftan has two very famous summits with Chehel Tan peak (Madehkuh) at 3941 m above sea level being the highest one. Iran has numerous mountains over 4000 m, but this, in particular, is one of the more well-known peaks, since it is a solitary mountain in the corner of Iran, with an active volcanic peak. It is attached to Dasht-e lut desert. The Legendary Volcano Mount Taftan, whose name means "burning mountain" in Persian, is part of the Makran volcanic arc. Although dormant, the volcano still emits faint plumes of sulfurous gases, a reminder of its fiery past. Its dramatic peaks, often capped with snow, create a striking contrast against the arid plains of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. The mountain’s unique terrain, shaped by centuries of volcanic activity, features rugged ridges, deep valleys, and colorful mineral deposits, making it a paradise for geology enthusiasts and photographers. Taftan volcanic mountain is a sub-range of Iran’s volcanic arc, with Bazman Mountain in Iran and Sultan Kuh in Pakistan.
