Lut Desert
Le désert de Lut, parfois appelé Dasht-e Lut ou Lout, est situé dans le sud-est de l’Iran; principalement dans la province de Kerman. Lut est devenu le premier patrimoine mondial naturel d’Iran après son inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO le 17 juillet 2016.
Le désert de Lut est certainement l’un des endroits les plus bizarres d’Iran et probablement du monde. Même si le désert hyperaride est l’un des endroits les plus chauds et les plus secs de la planète; vous pouvez toujours trouver la vie dans tous les coins. Tout a une façon de s’adapter à ces conditions extrêmes. ainsi, voir comment les habitants ont pu y vivre pendant au moins les 4000 dernières années est un voyage que vous devriez faire!
Hottest Place on Earth?
Iran’s Lut holds the record for having the Earth’s hottest surface temperature, which can climb as high as 159 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius).
Kaluts, Sand Dunes & other wonders
Moreover, this region is unique in many other cases. For instance, we can mention gigantic rock formations or Kaluts, some of the tallest sand dunes in the world (Yalan Sand Dunes), salt plains, salt lake, forgotten castles and rivers.
Do you remember the surreal desert in the first star wars? We have heard many times that Kalouts of Lut desert could be the perfect location! So, come with us and camp outside under the stars to have a memory you will never forget.
Salt Lake?!
The only thing that was missing from this surreal landscape was a lake and…
After the floods of early spring 2019, part of the salt river that was near the road has become a lake! So, nowadays we have a salt lake near the Kaluts of Lut desert in Kerman.

Nevertheless in the parts that we usually go, you can find sand fox, cheesman’s gerbil, Persian jird, Branford’s jerboa and sometimes wolf.
Kaluts Desert
Actualy the Kaluts (or Kalouts) are not a desert but a large area in which the rough, rocky Lut Desert has been sculpted by millennia of water and wind erosion into long lines of photogenic formations. Much the most impressive of these are five- to 10-storey high yardangs (‘sand castles’) with vertical or stepped sides. They are especially spectacular at sunset and sunrise when light and shadows turn the scene into a glowing canvas of gold and brown.

Keshit Canyon
Keshit was once located on a commercial road which connected Khorasan to Bam. That’s why you can find a huge citadel in Keshit that has the most genuine decorations and most of it is intact.
However, these are not the reason why we chose this place! In the middle of a vast flat and barren land in Lut desert there is crack and if you descend that crack you will get to this unimaginable place. A canyon where the water is coming out of its huge walls and running through the canyon it feed the plants, trees and wild life. To make it more unique, there is a waterfall and pool where you can chill out and swim.
