Introduction
Experience the charm of Iran, with a three-day tour around Gorgān, a historic city with outstanding beauty. Here's an itinerary that is sure to leave you spellbound.
Day 1 - Unraveling the Mysteries of Gorgān
Let's kick-start our Persian Tale with a visit to the Ziarat Village. Nestled among the Alborz Mountain Range, its beautiful landscapes will leave you captivated. Have you ever seen the palette of nature burst with so many colors? You'll be forgiven for thinking you stepped into a painting by Monet! In the afternoon, we head to the Golestan National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, home to some endangered species. Watch out for the fascinating Persian leopard, who knows, you might get lucky! As the day wraps up, we'll relax in the park's heart and swap stories around a campfire. Sounds like a fun way to unwind, doesn't it?
Day 2 - A Step Back in Time
Ready for a time travel? Day two is all about experiencing the rich cultural heritage of Iran. We start by visiting the Naharkhoran Boulevard, undoubtedly, the most beautiful street in Gorgān. The wooden benches, river-side view, and the ever-present cooling breeze would make you believe it's a living, breathing poem. Next, we pay a visit to the Great Wall of Gorgan or 'The Red Snake'. Imagine yourself to be an ancient warrior as you traverse this second largest defensive wall in the world after the Great Wall of China! We end the day with a dinner at a traditional Persian restaurant. How does a plate of Chelo-Kebab sound for a culinary adventure?
Day 3 - Shop, Savour, and Summit
We pack our final day with a delightful blend of shopping, delicacies and a touch of the spectacular. Ever tried bartering your way through an Eastern Bazaar? We'll start the day by exploring the bustling Gorgān Bazaar. Next, feast on the local delicacy, Shami, for lunch. How about ending our Persian tale with a touch of spectacle? The afternoon will find us taking a cable car ride to the top of the Mil-e Gonbad or a 'Thousand Domes Tower', the tallest brick tower in the world! Witness the orange sunset outlining the majestic Alborz Range. A sight to carry home and cherish forever, isn't it?
