Lost Paradise

Alamut Valley ; The Untouched Aspect of Iran

 
Milking Goats & Sheep
  Most of the tourists coming to Alamut valley go for the highlights of Alamut castle, Lambesar Castle, Evan lake and the Canyons. But now, make time for one to three more days to spend in Alamut, so that we can take you to places you will be among the first tourists ever; Lost Paradise.
The unique combination of mountains, jungles and villages!
Farming as keeping herds of sheep, goats and cows is a very fundamental and indivisible part of living in the valley. The milk, meat, skin, wool and even the excrement of these animals are used in different phases of the rural life here. 
The herd can go to some thousands of goats and sheep
  Iran in total is a deserted country with not a lot of rain and snow during the year. Thus everywhere a natural spring came out of the ground or mountain or there was a permanent river, people in the past started to settle down and form a village close to them.    
This natural spring supplies the water for seven villages in the region.

  When you are in Iran, you will have enough of Chicken Kebab and Beef Kebab as a normal daily dish of Iranian restaurants. But at this tour we totally stick to very Iranian local foods like:  Fesenjan (walnuts and chicken), Khorosh Bademjan (Eggplant food with rice), Kashke Bademjan and Mirza Ghasemi (the vegetarian foods formed with eggplant, garlic and tomato), Dolmeh (Vegetarian food; stuffed eggplant or tomato or grape leaves) and etc.      Lunch Time! Fesenjan Now, it`s the time to wander in the Masuleh-like village and meet the villagers and enjoy sharing cultures!    
The yard of a house can be the roof of the other house!
The walking starts! Get ready to be away from the sounds of cars or motorcycles and enjoy hiking to the mountains and enjoy the birds songs and cow herds going the same path as you do!         
No comment!
     
Let`s not talk and allow Wouter to enjoy the silence of the mountains!
Going back to the village from a long walk while everyone is reviewing the moments she/he experienced in the mountains.  
Going back home and letting nature to be free for its own as always!
  And finally after a long day, before going to sleep on the floor on mattresses as villagers do, a local food can be the last but not the least!
