Where should we go at the end of October? 5 spectacular villages for an autumn trip to the north
At the end of Mehr, the north of Iran is not only limited to the coast and its busy roads; There are villages in the heart of the mountains and on the edge of the forests, which with their old alleys, autumn gardens and misty landscapes, create a different experience of traveling to the north. If you are looking for a destination for a village tour for the last days of Mehr, get to know five rural destinations, from Kandlos and Yosh to Serulat and Javaherdeh, and read the important travel tips.
According to Ambassador Arjan, when autumn arrives, many travelers remember the north with its colorful forests and leafy roads; But sometimes, to experience this season, it is not necessary to go to crowded routes and repeated attractions. The villages in the north of Iran, especially in the foothills of Alborz, provide the opportunity to observe nature along with getting to know local architecture and local life.
Of course, at the end of Mehr, the weather conditions are not the same in different regions of the north. Low-elevation forests may not yet have full fall color, while higher elevations will cool earlier. Therefore, it is better to choose the destination according to the road condition, rainfall forecast and accommodation facilities.
1. Candles; Walking in the streets of a historical village
Candles in the rugged area of Mazandaran is a good choice for those who want to combine nature tourism with sightseeing in the historical context of the village. The cobbled alleys, native houses and the anthropological museum are some of the attractions that distinguish this village from a mere nature tourism destination.
At the end of Mehr, you can dedicate part of the day to walking in the alleys, watching the architecture of the houses and getting to know the local culture. The way to reach Kandlos also passes through the mountain roads of Kejur region and can be a part of the travel experience.
It is better to allow enough time for the trip to Candelus and not limit the visit to a short stop to take pictures. If you plan to stay, check the status and capacity of local accommodations before departure.
2. Yush Autumn in the hometown of Nima Yushij
Yosh, in the Belde part of Noor city, is a different destination for those interested in literature and rural architecture. This village is known more than anything else by the name of Nima Yoshij, a modernist Iranian poet. The historical house of Nima and the atmosphere of the village provide an opportunity for the trip to the north to have a cultural flavor.
The mountain path leading to Yosh, village houses and gardens of the region are among the attractions of this trip. If you go to Yosh at the end of October, instead of planning for exciting activities, you can devote a quiet day to visiting Nima's house, walking through the village and watching the surrounding landscapes.
Yosh is suitable for a one-day trip from nearby cities or part of a multi-day travel plan in Mazandaran; However, before leaving, one should check the condition of the mountain path and the visiting hours of Nima's house.
3. cerulet; Village tour near Chabaksar
Cerulat in the area of Chabaksar, Gilan, is an option for those who want to experience rural nature without being too far away from coastal cities. The location of this village, near the heights and green landscapes of the region, provides the possibility of combining the village tour with the tour of Chabaksar and Ramsar.
In this trip, you can devote part of the time to watching the scenery and sightseeing around the village, and if the local centers are active, you can also use the local foods of the region. The advantage of Cervelat is that it can be included in a shorter schedule and allow a full day to see several nearby attractions.
If heavy rain is predicted, it is better to avoid walking on slippery paths and stopping on the edge of slopes.
4. Javaherdeh; Watching the mountain scenery of Ramsar
Javaherdeh, in the southwestern heights of Ramsar, is one of the most well-known mountain villages in Mazandaran; But at the end of Mehr, it should be considered as a destination depending on the weather. The mountain road, the change of vegetation along the way and the view of the heights are an important part of the attraction of this trip.
On clear days, you can spend time walking around the village and watching the surrounding nature. On rainy or foggy days, however, limited visibility and slippery roads may change the itinerary. For this reason, check the road conditions and the weather forecast before leaving and allow enough time to return.
If you plan to stay the night in the area, don't postpone the accommodation reservation and heating facilities until the last days.
5. crooked A peaceful journey among the foothill villages
If instead of focusing on a famous attraction, you prefer to spend part of your trip on country roads, the Kejur area in Mazandaran is also worth checking out. With its scattered villages, mountainous landscapes and native texture, this range allows for a more relaxed travel planning.
Candlos can be considered as one of the main stops and if the time and road conditions are suitable, other accessible parts of the region can also be visited. Before traveling, it is better to mark the desired villages on the map and instead of choosing a large number of destinations, have a few stops close to each other.
In rural tourism, respecting the daily life of residents is very important; Do not enter gardens and yards without permission, do not leave garbage in the nature and do not park the car on the path of people or agricultural land.
What points should we consider before the autumn trip to the north?
For traveling at the end of Mehr, bring warm and light rain clothes; The temperature in the highlands may be very different from the coastal cities. If you plan to drive on mountain roads, check the road conditions, the possibility of fog and rain, and the time of sunset. Also, it is better not to rely on facilities that you are not sure of their operation for refueling, food and accommodation.
Autumn tourism is not supposed to be a competition to see the most attractions. Sometimes a short walk through the old alleys, a conversation with a local produce seller or a view of the gardens from a safe path makes for a more lasting experience than rushing past a few famous destinations.
