Are you interested in cycling in Iran with your bike? Let’s get acquainted with Iran cycling tour in 14 days that enables everyone riding bikes in marvelous destinations and get a ponder in cities and villages.
As we love being on the road, we provided this marvelous route for those who are keen to ride bikes on old roads. we were struggling to include everything that might be quite interesting such as camping, staying in the luxury hotels, staying in caravansaries, home-stays, etc. Another point we can make is, riding in the different routes such as cities, villages, mountain roads, desert routes.
What we usually do is about hiring a professional cycling tour guide who has done this job several times (it very much depends on number of clients that we may hire 2nd tour guide to ride in the middle of group in order to join everyone), hiring a bus to drive as a support behind the group (and a place where we can store bikes in the evening), hiring a cook for camping days to provide everything in the bus.
Our goal is to ride 70-80 km everyday and totally 1000 km in Iran which can be a unique record for everyone. At the end of the journey we will provide a certificate from ministry of tourism of Iran.
As travel consultants, we would highly recommend taking Iran cycling tour in early spring till June and from mid-sept till late Nov in central Iran.
