Best Time for Trekking in Iran Iran, with countless mountains above 4000 m, in the two famous mountain ranges of Alborz and Zagros, 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 and trek in Iran 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 get to know the lifestyle 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.
