Canyoning in Iran

So, you have visited enough of historical and cultural monuments during your summer trip to Iran? Have you spent plenty of time in Iran’s cities, meeting people, walking in the streets and specially experiencing Iran’s hot sunlight? There are some more adventurous activities that can be done in Iran, especially during summer! 

Iran is a mountainous country with peaks more than 5000 m height. Damavand, on the north of Tehran, with 5671 m height is the first one. After that, come other peaks like Alamkooh with 4848 m height, Hezar, 4465 m height, Zagros with 4421 m height and many more peaks spread all over Iran in different provinces.

The snow piled on the high mountains and peaks during winter, start to melt and flow as rivers and fountains under the warm spring sunshine. With the steep and gentle slopes of the mountains, this wild water flow leads to an extremely exciting activity named “canyoning”, which is defined as “Entering canyons from high elevations and continuing the route toward the low parts of the canyon, using the technical tools.” 

All you have to do is wearing a life jacket and a wet suit and jumping into the rafting water below, feeling an astonishing excitement in the roaring water, while you have to control your body not to hit the parapets by using technical ropes. Sometimes you may have to stop on a rock for recognizing the right direction or cautiously landing a waterfall using ropes and considering leader’s guidance, and then continuing the way through the canyon. Wow! Such a cool, fresh water is all needed in this time of the year. You can carefully entrust yourself to the nature and enjoy its positive excitement.
