Iran 2003
This was an AGS (inspection) tour in April/May.
We started in Tehran and moved via Qom, Arak to Esfahan and explored the Zagros area just a bit. Then back to Tehran. Next we drove into the Elbruz mountains east of Tehran. The last area we visited was the west side of the Elbruz and onto Kuh-e-Sabalan mountain, Tabriz and back again. We found many interesting plants on this trip.
Iran is a good country to travel in with very friendly Iranian people. The Mosques in Esfahan are stunning and worth a visit!
