Shiraz to Kerman Road Trip

We’ll meet up in Shiraz and begin our unforgettable on-the-way tour with a road trip to the 2500-year-old Persepolis (around 60 km). After a walk in the footsteps of great kings and through the remains of the elegant palaces, we’ll move on to Naqsh-e Rostam (around 10 km) to check out royal rock tombs. Then Pasargadae (around 75 km) will be expecting us with the remains of the first model of impressive Persian Gardens and the modest tomb of Cyrus the Great.

Overnight: Ecolodge in Pasargadae

We’ll dedicate today to the top attractions on our way to Kerman. First, a 290-km ride from Pasargadae takes us to 12000 years of history and intact lifestyle in the Cultural Landscape of Maymand village. The unique look of over 400 cave-houses (possibly Mithraic structures) stretching down a gently sloping cliff will leave you speechless. Still impressed by the exploration through the intriguing chambers, corridors and pillars of one of the earliest human settlements, hit the road toward Kerman (around 240 km).
