That famous Iranian hospitality is in full effect on this tour that goes beyond the city and into a local village. Hike the mountains of the Hesar region, then settle in for a traditional Iranian meal with a welcoming family and new friends.
Your Shiraz tour will take you beyond Shiraz, but before we leave the city, we’ll meet at Hafez’s tomb, the memorial site of one of Iran’s most beloved poets. Here we’ll briefly introduce ourselves and get to know each other a bit before heading out in our car towards the picturesque mountains and hills of the Hesar region, approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Shiraz. This region combines beautiful scenery, fresh mountain air, and that ever-famous Iranian hospitality!
We’ll hike through the beautiful hills and mountains for about three and a half hours, while your tour guide tells you about the local history, and the regional flora and fauna. Finally, we’ll walk through wooded areas that provide vital income to the local residents in Dashtak.
No doubt hungry from all that hiking, we’ll then visit with a local family in a small village, and enjoy a traditional Iranian lunch. You’ll get to chat with the family and learn more about local life in this part of Iran.
Following our hearty lunch, we’ll return to Shiraz by car — don’t worry if you fall asleep on the ride! We have a feeling that naps will definitely be required!
Please note that it is Iranian custom to bring a small token of thanks when you are a guest in someone’s home, and it will be greatly appreciated by our hosting family. (If it’s possible, bring something small from your country — the more personal the better!)
