Iran has three important mountainous area ,First of all massive Alborz mountains in the north of Iran ,it start from Azerbaijan Country border in Northwest to the Turkmenistan border in the northeast of Iran . Alborz mountains is very special mountain area ,because the north part of that covered by seasonal forests, the reason is Caspian sea humidity. The humid of Caspian sea is reason of that . Caspian sea coast forests is oldest forest in the planet earth which is called Hyrcanian forest, but the south part of the Alborz mountains you will see different landscapes, wast beautiful ranges, amazing grasslands in high altitude, high peaks higher than 4000 M & etc.
Second mountainous area of Iran is Zagros mountain which is younger than Alborz & it has many rocky mountains. It’s start from northwest to the south & then finished in Persian gulf. The peaks of Zagros is high but not like Alborz mountains. The interesting point of this mountain is nomad people migrations, which is very beautiful .
