About me
Iran trekking guide
I born and raised in Alborz province, and my passion for mountain climbing begins from early childhood. At the age of 13, I successfully climbed the mount Damavand—the highest peak of Iran (5671 m). My love and passion for climbing grow over the teenage years. In my early twenties, I decided to become a professional mountain guide. Currently, I am working full-time as a Mountain guide in the Alborz mountains Since 2010.
So far, I mapped and trekked more than 90 % of the current trekking and hiking routes of Alborz range, especially Caspian Sea forests and coastal areas. I love everything about my job, and I consider myself among the luckiest whom their job is their passion. Of course, it is a physically and mentally demanding job and requires both hard and soft skills. However, this is my passion and my love for the mountains, culture, geography, people, and wildlife is endless.
Professionally, I hold several international mountaineering certificates, including trekking, hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountain routing. In the past, I organized over 86 hiking trips for various groups from different parts of the world. If you share the same passion as I do, I encourage you to contact me. I would love to be in the loop with fellow hikers around the world and exchange information. I invite you to come to Iran and experience trekking and hiking in the Alborz mountains!
