Chapaker Ecolodge

Chapaker is one of the best and happiest places travelers can stay in. Whenever I take my tourists to Varzaneh desert I take them to this ecolodge. I really recommend this lovely place to all the tourists who seek my advise. At our arrival, we are welcomed by the locals with some drinks and herbal tea. Then after a short rest, we are guided by one of the hosts to the dunes to step on the sandy hills and go high to see the sunset and get captivated by the scene. Wow, something really fantastic! Everyone who gets there, prefers to take off his shoes to give the feet a chance to touch the cool sand. I can never forget the experience. In Varzaneh desert there is really a lot to explore. Believe it or not, in Chapaker ecolodge there is a kind of atmosphere that makes me take a trip there on the weekends. It is a must-to-visit place on my tours. The hosts are really welcoming and travelers will have a unique chance of joining the company of Iranian local people. At night, the hosts of Chapaker take their guests to the desert to cook local dinner and serve it under the starry sky with the shiny milk way that adds to the beauty. Khalil Khalili is the local guide who has mastery over all the sites in Varzaneh and the area nearby. He takes the order for food and by his help, there is really no need even for the veggies to worry. I strongly suggest this spot to travelers especially those who come from green lands. 

Iranian Hospitality

Iranian Hospitality is the first and the most important fact all tourists speak about even on the first hours of their trip. They feel really relaxed when they are in  their community and they confess that all tourist are completely at ease when they come to this country. Local people of Iran are really ready to help as soon as they see a foreigner is walking around. they help by giving them directions or even by giving them a free of charge ride. because of my career I have visited many travelers from different countries and it is really interesting to me that all of them start to talk about the hospitality of the people living in Iran. Those who have traveled to many other countries believe each country is noteworthy for a specific item. For example Italy is famous for its food, Brazil is famous for its coffee, Switzerland is famous for its chocolate, France is famous for its bars, and Iran is very famous for its people. This is the fact that only those who have taken a trip to Iran can admit. Being among Iranian community is really enjoyable. They are easy going and really warm. They welcome tourists of all types and they even offer them their houses for overnight stays free of charge. That is why travelers will face no problem when they are taking walk in the streets of the cities. They are always many local people to offer them help of any kind.

Taking Tours to the Land of Wonders

Iran is among the most fascinating countries many travelers have intended to visit these days due to its present situation created by a more moderate President, Hassan Rouhani, who made both international relations and internal rules less severe and slightly open. This leads many travelers to give the country a visit mentioning the fact that there are 21 UNESCO world heritage sites waiting to be explored by them. Iran is a large country situated between the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea. Its neighboring countries are Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Its capital city is Tehran and the dominant language is Persian with a variety of dialects and accents. The used currency is Rial and there is also the monetary unit of Toman. Each Toman is equivalent to 10 Rials. Iran is a country of multiple ethnic groups and cultures. The country is populated by Iranian Azeris, Kurds, Lurs, Armenians, Turkmens, Arabs, Assyrians, Georgians, and last but not least Jews. All of these groups have been living peacefully for years in the country. Shia Islam is undoubtedly the dominant religion in Iran, but there also exist several religions like Sunni Islam, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Judaism.

The major cities of Iran are Tehran, which is the capital city, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, Tabriz, Mashhad, Kerman, Kermanshah, Hamedan and some more. The beautiful Islands of Kish and Qeshm lie in the southern part of the country.

Iran has a variable climate. Winters are cold. Springs and falls are relatively mild, while summers are dry and hot. Having suitable climate for travelling all across the country, Iran is a great place to travel all year round.

The most important feature we can highlight about Iran is the hospitality of its people. They are warm and always willing to welcome travelers. Although their official language is Farsi, a large majority of them, especially those working in travel agencies and hotels, speak English and some other languages like French and German. All the traffic signs are written both in Farsi and English. So travelers can easily get around in the cities. Tourists visiting Iran hardly need a guide book as long as local Iranians will help them around.
