Alamut Mountains

The Zagros mountain range starts in the north western division of Iran and extends all the way to the south east. This trek will mean experiencing genuine nomadic life.

The Assassin’s main castle in Gazorkhan is the emblem of the region as far as political history is concerned but to see wild mountainous Alamut one needs to travel a little deeper into the valley either northwards to Khoshkechal and beyond or reach Garmarood, this is where rock formations, canyons, rivers and waterfalls, spectacular summits and glaciers, alpine plains together with the remnants of an ancient pine forest and grasslands with old settlements make a beautiful and unique combination of nature and cultural life of its people. This is a true trekking paradise! In lower to mid Alamut, wheat, barley, rice and cherries are major crops and in the highlands potatoes are grown, traditional sheep farming with nomadic lifestyle still dominates part of an average family’s way of life and income in upper Alamut valley although sadly this is fast giving way to modern way of living. Today there are many Alamutis who live in apartment blocks in Qazvin and only visit their homeland during the summer months.
