recommended!!

We had some amazing trips to the mud-brick villages from our hotel. We walked up through the village and to the top of the hills to have a view. it was just like movies. The views from the top were spectacular and all of the parts such as the pigeon tower made it incredible. Stopping by to see the Zoroastrian fire temple in the village of chak chak was the highlight of the trip. I’d definitely recommend them for your next trip!

Amazing

Visited chak chak on a nice afternoon in a private tour with masoud and I can honestly say this was the most spectacular tour I have had in Iran so far. The hike to the top to visit the fire burning for years was worth every step. Unfortunately, my shoes couldn’t make it and Masoud was so nice to give me his sandals for the rest. This was the part of my trip I remember for many years. Thank you tappersia!

GRET SETTING

Karma winds our way through the narrow mud-brick alleys of the kharanaq village, we put shoes on the footsteps of people from 4500 years ago, and took incredible pictures with the city. Stunning views and great company. The hill is fascinating, and the views over it is great. Take good shoes, it can rain and the stones get a little bit slippery.

worth experiencing,

From Isfahan to Yazd we stopped by to visit the villages on the way and have some launches. Masoud ordered a local launch for the four of us and it was the best chicken I had. Far from the food, the village itself is interesting. A few people still live there according to our guide and beyond the smell of mud, picturesque views and beautiful empty buildings were really noticeable.
