When it comes to villages of Iran, diversity is on another level. According to the different climates in Iran, many villages with their very own landscapes and architectures styles are laid in every corner of this vast country. 5 of these uncovered villages are going to be introduced in the following:

1 Masuleh

In the heights of Alborz Mountain rangein the north of Iran, nestles a lovely Village called Masuleh. Hidden in the middle of foggy forests, Masuleh is a charming place with its adorable local architecture. The courtyard of one house is the roof of the house below. The nice thing about Masuleh is that no motor vehicle is allowed to enter the village and ruin the peaceful mood. Take a walk in the local Bazar of Masuleh, meet the locals selling handicrafts and fresh vegetables and sip a cup of fragrant tea in a warm cozy tea-house.

The mysterious Javaher Deh is hidden in fog and clouds. This cozy village is home to hospitable people who are busy with animal husbandry, agriculture and making wonderful handicrafts like felt rugs and colorful knitted socks and shawls. There are also many souvenir shops selling honey, popular garlic pickles, hazelnuts and many more natural products of Javaher Deh. Hiking the mountains around Javaher Deh, exploring the waterfalls and feeding your eyesight with eternal beauty of the area is what the magical nature around Javaher Deh offers you!

In my opinion, the magical route to Javaher Deh is one of the most beautiful roads in Iran. It is a stunning mountain pass, going through dense forests. There are many local restaurants located by the road, serving well brewed tea, local cuisines and different kebabs. Don’t forget to taste Kabab Torsh (Sour Kebab) if you stopped at one of these nice restaurants!

Javaher Deh and the magical road leading to it have stunning faces to offer during four seasons of the year, but according to the freezing winter and falls up on Alborz heights, the best time to visit this village is in April, May, late September and first days of October. Ask Uppersia to arrange you an excursion or overnight tour in beloved Javaher Deh.
