Itinerary
In Lut we will visit Nebka Mounds, qanat systems (ancient water system in Iran) Salt River and Egg Hills and later, we reach the Kalouts before sunset. Taking as mush time as we need, we will cherish the solitude that can be only found in Lut. Meanwhile, taking the most precious souvenir to get, photos.
After sunset we will visit Shazdeh garden of Mahan which is among the 9 gardens that were inscribed by UNESCO’s World Heritage List and you will be amazed by how the Persian gardens work and why this is the best in the word.
Eventually in the early night time we will go back to Kerman.
