"Hello friends! Today I want to talk about one of the most beautiful mountain regions of my country, which is known as a wonderful tourist destination. With its stunning natural scenery, towering mountains and lush green valleys, this region is a true paradise for nature and adventure lovers. This mountain is suitable not only for professional climbers, but also for families and tourists can benefit from them. Also, in different seasons, this area has its own beauty, from the white snow in the spring. In addition to the nature, you can also enjoy the traditional food of this area Enjoy local food and meet local people who have interesting stories of their history and culture.
I want to take you to the heart of the mountains and the very beautiful nature of Hazar Mosque, a completely mountainous and pristine area.
The main area and route of navigation was to Olang Haydar, which was located in the heart of Hazar Mosque mountains. The path to reach this place is difficult and only possible with tractors or off-road vehicles. Every year in a certain season of the year when the air temperature is almost a little bit hot, many tourists have night plans in this region.
The mountains of Hazar Mosque are located in the north of Razavi Khorasan, which separates Mashhad from the Qaraqom desert of Turkmenistan as a natural border. The main plant species of these mountain ranges are juniper trees, which have given a beautiful and special cover to the region.
Our entry route from the city was like this, after leaving the city, we moved towards the Line section. After Lain, we went to the village of Chaharrah, which was a very mountainous area with pleasant weather. This village was the last destination of Lain at the foothills of the Thousand Masjid mountains, and after that the path of the mountains requires climbing.
In the village of Chaharrah, there were several ecotourism lodges where tourists stayed for a few days, and sometimes they stopped at these places and stopped climbing.
One of the most frequented accommodations in the area is known as "Father's House" where we could have accommodations with previous reservations, which I will share with you in detail in another post.
We had to leave the vehicles in this place and climb the mountain and Aras forests with a tractor with a capacity of 15 people.
We had equipped all our personal belongings in our backpacks and with the help of each other and a few people, we put the tents inside the tractor and traveled to Olang Haydar for a distance of approximately one and a half to two hours in the mountains by tractor.
It was the first time that I navigated this route, I could not take many photos of the route inside the tractor, but the route seemed very exciting and maybe a little scary and dangerous from my point of view.
Going up and down the mountains with big tractor tires was very exciting and sometimes the excitement turned into fear.
We were at the height of summer, but the weather was so cool and mild there that sometimes we could feel the drizzle.
After we got off the tractor, for about 15 minutes, we had to carry our belongings towards Olang Haydar with an almost sharp uphill.
When we reached the desired area for accommodation, we were really amazed by this view. The area was completely virgin and green. Juniper trees had given an exclusive display in different sites.
Wherever we looked, some people had gathered together and had set up a tent.
Always in this season of the year, in addition to ordinary people, climbing groups from all over the world travel to this area.
The view was really magnificent. Everywhere you looked, you could see tents with different colors, colorful backpacks, and the harmony of colors with the truly unique green nature.
It's as if the silence and tenderness of this nature caressed the human soul and you wanted to be in this place for days and weeks and be free of all worries and thoughts.
Some parts were so green and the area was so beautiful that you didn't even want to walk on this grass, let alone pitch a tent.
But what can we do when we humans prefer our own comfort to everything.
Considering that the weather was sunny, but the air temperature was so moderate that the heat was not felt.
I just wanted to patrol the area. In some areas in the evening, a mist of cool air was seen in the sky like white clouds.
The image of nature was painted in such a way that it took a beautiful photo in any position and at any angle. The version you see in the multi-dimensional photo has single juniper trees as if they were painted.
Both the impassability and the remoteness of the area were one of the reasons why no group and no tourist would limit themselves to a one-day trip, and they would definitely consider the overnight stay plan and provisions and They carried necessary equipment such as sleeping bags and... Some of the climbing groups considered staying two nights.
In fact, one of the main reasons for staying the night in the area is to visit the nearby waterfalls, each of which has different distances. Abshar No Ali and Goj Mazar waterfall are the most famous of them.
The group had planned to visit Gouj Mazar waterfall.
I really wanted to visit this beautiful waterfall, but because of my knee pain, I couldn't go with my friends.
But I insisted to one of my friends to photograph this waterfall in different items.
People who cannot hike to the waterfalls stayed in the tents until the others return to the place after visiting.
The beauty of the route should not be neglected.
This waterfall is also known as the staircase waterfall. This stair case doubles its beauty. Oregano and thousands of plants along the way are other attractions.
TheI would like you to see the photos and touch the beauty of nature.
high height of this waterfall made some people take souvenir photos at the very beginning of the waterfall and they were tired of continuing the path.
Another waterfall in the area was Zoo Siah, which we couldn't go to because of its distance.
The valleys of Hazar Masjid are home to many animals such as goats, camels, paikas, foxes, leopards, etc., and paikas are more abundant.
After visiting the waterfalls, all the people were present at the place of the tents and camps that they had made so that the group could prepare for the return journey.
In short, the trip to this region was a very pleasant and lasting experience that maybe my description today could not describe all this beauty as it should. You have to be real in such places to be able to touch all the creations, greatness and tenderness of nature and take a deep breath.
God willing, in the spring and summer of next year, I will expand my visit to this area and its surroundings, and I will be with you with a rich article and more beautiful photos.
I am very happy that you were with me with another post and I am proud that I was with you for a few minutes. I love you so much and goodbye until another blog.😉😉
