Iranians love travelling! Every day they get a couple of days off, they head for the North of Iran where many have villas. Those who don`t have such luxury, grab their backpacks, fetch their friends and get off to one of the beautiful places around Tehran for a one-day trip. One of these places is Shahrestanak in Alborz province which can be an amazing getaway destination during spring, summer and autumn.
You can see such scenery there in late October-the first days of November.
Shahrestanak is a village with lots of fruit-tree gardens and a Qajar palace which was turned into a museum, although it didn`t save it from decay.
Although Shahrestanak has a historical sight, people come here mostly for its nature, fresh air and mountains. In spring they enjoy the greenery of numerous fruit trees, in summer they escape heat under the shadow of the trees and in autumn enjoy red-yellow autumn scenery.
If you decide to visit this small village, remember that it`s located in the mountains and weather here is always colder than in the city. So be prepared!
