Cycling in Zagros is quite challenging and lovely. Biking tours among the roads in Iran, a land with an ancient culture, and meeting hardworking people in Zagros would be amazing for many visitors. Dating back mostly to the Precambrian era, Zagros mountains has impressive sceneries to offer and you will pass through fascinating landscapes of Oak forests in the region.
On this tour, you will visit Shiraz. Besides the historical attractions, Shiraz is home to sights superior to all-natural areas in terms of beauty and glory. Plains with carpets of greenery and carvings of colorful and intoxicating flowers, along with soft raindrops and the scent of rain-soaked soil that have all come together and turned into a frame that may never have been seen in any of the painting galleries.
In the west of Sepidan city in the downhill of the Zagros Mountains and in the vicinity of a beautiful and spectacular village called Margon, there is a noisy waterfall, which is known as Margon waterfall. This attractive and spectacular waterfall is a sight around Shiraz. What makes Margon waterfall different from other waterfalls is that the water does not come from a current river but from the heart of the earth. In fact, there is no river around this waterfall that falls from a great height. Rather, above the waterfall, you will see a spring that comes from the heart of the earth, reaches the surface of the earth, overflows, and falls to the ground. You can experience camping in the region and stay overnight.
While cycling in Zagros, the support autos will be with you so that you can enjoy resting anytime anywhere you would like. Visiting beautiful cultural highlights in the area is part of the tour itinerary which will make a lifelong memory for you.
