Overview

Sabalan Mountain Climbing Tour

High up north in Iran, in the Ardabil Province, stands one of Persia’s tallest mountains, Sabalan. About a two hour drive out of Meshgin Shahr, lies an inactive volcano that is about five million years old. This volcano houses an extremely beautiful natural lake right on its peak.

On this tour you will climb the Sabalan mountain and take in all of its majestic beauty. You will also take a natural hot spring bath, swim in the natural hot springs, visit the lengthy suspension bridge of Meshgin Shahr and maybe even see the nomads live their amazing authentic lives.

We will leave Tabriz at 8 am. and head to Meshgin Shahr. First we’ll visit the suspension bridge of Meshgin Shahr, the longest suspension bridge in the middle east. This bridge is stretched over a splendid deep valley and holds a different view every season.

We will then head over to Shabil hot spring where our hike up the great mountain of Sabalan starts. The hike will take a day or two considering how far you’d like to go on foot and how far you’d rather go by car. After the hike, down the mountain at the Shabil hot springs again, you can enjoy a hot natural bath. We will then head back to Tabriz and the tour will end (Tabriz tours).

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.

fantastic experience on my first trip to Iran

This trip had something and everything in it. coffee, hiking, and loud laughs. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge, experience, and pure enthusiasm. It's amazing that so much adventure can be done. Totally recommended.

Mega adventourous trip

Having a private tour gave us an opportunity to hike and rest in the path. The trek was spectacular, Sohrab, our guide was superb. his skill, patient and hard work helped us to get to the top proudly, and very impressed by our guide. If, like me, you are scared of Iran. Try Tappersia adventurous tours.

A GREAT ADVENTURE, AND A GOOD LEVEL OF CHALLENGE.

Who would have believed I hiked? no one! I was the only one on the tour and my guide helped me with everything. He talked to me all the way and distracted me. we sat for some snacks and water. Excellent views and facilities down there helped a lot. Thanks to all concerned.
