10-12 Days, Esfahan to Kerman
Desert Detour
If you've ever dreamt of the oasis towns of the 1001 Nights or are drawn to hospitable
homestays, this trip is for you. It's doable by taking infrequent buses, but the odd taxi
dar
baste
can reduce waiting time. Avoid the summer heat by travelling between October and
April.
Start in
Esfahan
and take a bus to
Toudeshk
for a night and a morning in the shifting
sands of the Varzaneh Desert, before continuing to see the traditional houses of
Na
'
in
.
From Na'in take the bus east to Khur, where you get a taxi to
Farahzad
and/or
Garmeh
for desert homestays that redefine hospitality; plan for three days all up.
Continue to
Yazd
via
Chak Chak
, and check into an atmospheric traditional hotel in
the old town. Spend two days exploring the old city, the Zoroastrian Towers of Silence
