CARBON REDUCTION

REDUCED FLIGHT: We are dedicated to making the planet more eco-friendly by concentrating on strategies that lower carbon emissions. Our tour design reflects our aim to shrink our carbon footprint. One of the important methods we use to accomplish this is to avoid air travel as much as possible. We are proud to offer a 5-day tour that does not require any domestic flights, thus making it a more responsible and environmentally aware travel option.

VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FOOD: This 5-day tour package provides guests with a variety of dining options, most of which have vegetarian choices every day, to suit different dietary requirements and desires. Furthermore, some restaurants offer vegan menu items, allowing visitors to choose meals that are free of animal products. This service not only meets the needs of those who follow certain dietary practices but also encourages lower carbon usage during the tour, in line with environmentally friendly travel values and enabling guests to sustain a green lifestyle while enjoying their trip.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

EXPERT NATURE GUIDES: Our tour guides are not only skilled in leading you along the hiking path but also well-informed about various facets of travel and life. They are aware of the latest cultural and social topics, which could spark many lively discussions. All of our tour guides have international certification from the Iran mountaineering and sport climbing federation. They have climbed Damavand peak at least 50 times. Their expertise and education have equipped them to conduct Damavand tours that are hassle-free and enjoyable.

REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: We investigate the environmental concerns about the Damavand area and the local community rules, which we would have to adhere to in order to minimize the harm we cause to indigenous communities. Moreover, we attempt to protect the environment and reduce our mark on nature. We not only refrain from littering in nature, but also urge others to do the same. Additionally, we try to limit the amount of plastic we use on our trips.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

EMBRACING LOCAL INTERACTIONS: Iran’s rich cultural diversity is wonderfully enhanced by the unparalleled hospitality of its people, often mentioned as the highlight by many of our guests. To capture this unique cultural opportunity, we’ve included a “local life experience” section in our tours. This initiative not only gives tourists a deeper insight into the local lifestyle but also creates authentic relationships with the inhabitants. Our skilled guides play a crucial role, bridging any cultural or linguistic differences and ensuring a smooth interaction. Acknowledging the cultural variations of different Iranian regions, we have established ethical rules for these interactions. This guarantees that our travelers interact with locals in a way that’s both courteous and rewarding.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

LOCALLY OPERATED: Our tours are run by Iranians who live in the country and know it well. Whether they are guides, drivers, customer service agents, or administrators, they are all locals who play a vital role in our business. This approach guarantees that our visitors enjoy genuine and informative experiences, as well as that the money we make stays in the local community and helps it grow and thrive.

FAIR COMPENSATION: Our core value is to build lasting and positive bonds with our staff, and for this purpose, we make sure that all our workers are paid much more than the legal minimum wage in the places where we operate. By following this principle, we not only create a friendly and enthusiastic work atmosphere but also support the happiness and welfare of our team members, guaranteeing the continued excellence and quality of our tour experiences.
