Overview

Ilam and The Glorious Shadad Canyon

The tour starts right from Ilam and we move to Razianeh canyon, a natural, eye-catching phenomenon. It has been formed due to the faults and earth movements. The canyon is so peaceful as you can hear the wind’s sound as it spins into rocks and enjoy the fresh air for hours. After having breakfast here, we boat toward the next destination through a valley, called Shadad. As you see this area you’ll find out the reason it’s become a very popular tourist area. The oak trees and playful squirrels have made the valley sprightly vivacious and it also has a great view to Samireh river and dam.

The valley is about 700 meters tall; you may see many people boating or fishing downside. Apart from natural values, some prehistoric man-made works related to 3000 BC are visible on the rocks and we can easily say it’s a glorious masterpiece created by nature and human. The works show us the evolution of Bronze to Iron age. One of the region monuments is Shadad Cave. During a survey on the environment soil, they realized it was a part of the great historical architecture and it resulted in a Sassanid monument discovery. Still, there are a lot of historical signs to be found in this wonderland.

Next, we move to Badreh field that is 15 km away from Shadad, we eat lunch here and go to another town, 45 km further, is called Dareh Shahr. We come here to savor a combination of nature and history, where a towering castle was established on Kabirkouh mount in Bahram canyon. Bahram Choubin, the founder of this army castle, was one of the Sassanid generals. He used to come to this area for hunting and entertaining as it is a habitat for various animals. The castle also functioned as a strategic army refuge, because it’s hidden among rocks with high walls.

Finally, we go back to Ilam for having dinner and after a little walk around the city, we get back to the hotel(Ilam tour). The best season for visiting Ilam is late winter and early spring when all plants are lively and lush. If you’re inspired by such a mysterious territory, just don’t forget to have your camera for recording the picturesque landscapes on this adventurous tour.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service :) TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. ;) TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.

far away from hectic world

I was impressed by the vast size of green in the area of Ilam, once we stepped in the surrounding areas. The jungle greets us from all around. It was everything I wanted to be, so impressive and magical. I highly recommend visiting the historical sites. I think the combination of nature and history are quite excellent.

4th times in Iran

This is my fourth time in Iran. An added feature to explore the west part of the country was Rasool’s idea and I am glad to take it. Till can;t believe I was traveling to the west, it was breathtaking. Thank you rasool for this amazing recommendation.

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our 3 day tour was a blast. Our guide worked really hard to make everyone feel comfortable. We enjoyed his enthusiastic attitude and willingness to connect with us. We like the trip itinerary, planning and leisure time so we could do our own thing. We had great meals, and we enjoyed every single bite of it. I highly recommend visiting Ilam.
