Day 02: Nomads’ tent - Babak Castel - Tabriz
Today will start with a beautiful sunrise or perhaps a mystical foggy weather which will cover our tents. Experiencing this breathtaking moment will be one of the best of our journey. We will then enjoy an organic nomad’s breakfast before heading to the historical Babak castle.
This hike is approximately 1.5 hours to the top of the castle and will bring us back in time for more than 1200 years. Our exploration will continue by hiking through the forest for 3 to 4 hours.
End of the tour, return back to Tabriz.
Notes on the forest hike:
• Overall difficulty: very difficult
• recommended to physically fit travelers
• there will be a second guide for an easy hike back to the Nomad’s tent
