Alamut Off-Road Tours
Alamut is a land of infinite wonders, located among natural extremes: soaring
peaks of Alborz mountains and endless mountainous tracks, castles built at the
apex of lofty rocks and lakes formed at the foothills visited by colorful
migratory birds. Alamut has the most unique natural formations in
Qazvin
Province. One of these natural wonders, Ovan Lake, is a heterogeneous ecosystem
in Alamut Valley and the natural environment of many species of fish and
migratory birds. It is a great place for birdwatching. But the most
popular spot is undoubtedly a number of historic forts attributed to a Isma’ili
branch of Shia Islam known as The Hashashin. Hassan-i Sabbah, the founder and
arch-master of the sect gathered a secret army in these forts and fought the
invaders using different military tactics. Two of the most famous of these forts
are
Alamut’s Castle of Assassins and Lamasar Fortress. You might have heard of
Alamut and its castle of Assassins in many books, movies and games inspired by
(largely fictive) uncanny accounts of the events revolving around the castles
and their inhabitants. The most popular of these are two Ubisoft games Prince of
Persia and Assassins’ Creed both (especially the latter) borrowing many elements
from the story of Alamut Castle in Iran and its feared Hashashins. People
sometimes speak of the ancient city of Alamut, but such a place has never
existed. Alamut has always been a fierce land with harsh mountainous weather and
towering forts, but not a city. Once on the top of these awe-inspiring
structures, you will have the whole valley under your feet and can get a glimpse
of the
Alamut
attractions . The panorama is widely
different depending on which season you travel to Alamut castles. It can either
be a multicolored carpet of flowers or a smooth field of snow. But Alamut is a
consummate location for off-road tours irrespective of weather. The region is
ideal for a great number of off-road activities. Our off-road
Alamut tours
are really spectacular one-day packages with lots of fun and excitement in the
land of the Assassins.
