1. Mount Damavand

66 Kilometres northeast of Tehran, at a height of 5,610m, Mount Damavand is the highest peak in the Middle East and the second highest volcano in Asia (after Kunlun volcano in Tibet), and a worthy challenge for any accomplished mountaineer. in addition, visible from Tehran on a clear day, the mountain is snow-capped all year round, and features prominently in Persian folklore and literature. Also, located in the Alborz Mountain range, reaching Damavand’s peak will take the best part of two days – and earn you the eternal respect of any Iranians in your life.

Moreover, Damavand is located on the tectonically active thrust and fold belt of the Alborz Mountains. Also, it is a massive stratovolcano with a volume of about 400 cubic kilometers and consists of a younger cone that was constructed during the past 600,000 years above an older, 1.78 million years old edifice, remnants of which were previously thought to be part of a caldera. Besides, the climbing season is June-September.

2. Torkaman Sahra

The Turkmen Plains, or the Torkaman Sahra, lie in Iran’s north eastern region, bordering Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea. Moreover, the seemingly interminable rolling green hills remain virtually untouched and tricky to access without your own car – but the views are simply spectacular. In addition, one focal point to head to is the Khaled Nabi cemetery, notable for its phallic tombstones. Also, nearby is the famous 11th century tower structure Gonbad-e Qabus, memorialized in the west in Robert Byron’s travelogueThe Road to Oxiana.

3. Dasht-e Lut, Iran Beautiful Natural

The Dasht-e Lut (Lut Desert) is one of Iran’s two great deserts, covering an area of over 50,000 square kilometres in the central eastern part of the country. in addition, reportedly laying claim to the hottest land surface temperatures ever recorded – an astonishing 70.7 degrees – it is not an ideal location for an afternoon picnic. Nevertheless, the weather-beaten, moonscapes of the desert make an unforgettable venue for night-time camping beneath the stars, and the views at dawn are mesmerizing. Also, Tour guides will take you from the city of Kerman for a reasonable fee. Be sure to check out the mysterious kaluts too – the famed giant rock formations of the desert.

4. Salt Plains, Dasht-e Kavir

The Dasht-e Kavir, or Kavir-e Namak (the Great Salt Desert), is Iran’s other massive desert, also located in the center of the Iranian plateau, northwest of Esfahan and Yazd. In addition, harsh, barren, and unfathomably hot. Also, you won’t want to wander the expanse aimlessly or unaccompanied, but it remains an impressive sight to behold. Moreover, the Namak (Salt) Lake, 100 kilometres from Qom, is the most tourist friendly feature of the desert, the magnificent, white vastness of which will give the salt flats of Bolivia a run for their money.

5. Maranjab Desert, Iran Beautiful Natural

A two-hour drive from the city of Kashan in Esfahan province, the Maranjab desert boasts some of the sandiest dunes in the country. Also, whilst most of Iran’s deserts are salt, rocky, or scrubland, Maranjab caters to more stereotypical desert fantasies. Besides, you can combine a tour with a visit to the Namak Lake, not far from here, with the option to rest your head in the remains of a 16th century caravanserai (be prepared for very basic facilities).

6. Masal Forest, Gilan

The forests of the northern province of Gilan are an area of outstanding natural beauty, and offer some beautiful hiking trails for tourists. Besides, an eight hour drive from Tehran, the mountainous Masal region has some particularly popular walking routes, although you’d be wise to bring your own supplies as shops and hotels are few and far between. Also , the mixture of lush lowlands and mountain forests make for a pleasing contrast with the harsh landscapes of southern Iran, although lynxes, wolves, and bears are said to inhabit these territories (attacks on humans are extremely infrequent).
