Hello friends, I hope you are doing well. I am naseshahedi and I am very happy to share my first post and my hobbies with you for the first time in this forum.
I am very happy to have become acquainted with this community. Since I see your posts here, it feels like I am also with you all.
Well, to start and for the first post in this forum, I want to share one of my very enjoyable trips to the beautiful village of Artakand in Khorasan Razavi in my country Iran, which had a very cool and pleasant atmosphere.
About two weeks ago, we traveled to this area with a few of our friends. This village has beautiful waterfalls that welcome many tourists every year.
On the first day, we arrived in this area at sunset, and since it was dark, we settled down, and the next day after having breakfast, we headed towards the waterfalls.
Considering the crowded path to the waterfall, as much as possible, I will share step by step going towards the waterfall so you can also enjoy this beautiful journey of mine.
Along the way to near the waterfall, there were many small and large accommodations that had local foods, local breads, tea, and all kinds of herbal teas prepared along the route for travelers and tourists who were going to the waterfall.
On the way to the waterfall, some parts were in the water and some parts were dry, and we were going along the edges. But despite this, the weather was very pleasant and it's amazing for escaping the summer heat.
On the way, this beautiful and ancient mill caught attention and most people were taking photos.
As you can see in these photos, almost everything was getting narrower as we got closer to the end of the path, and the crowd of people was also more visible. This was the end of the path where the valley was almost closing, and we had to continue the path to the waterfall inside the cave.
The final part where you entered the waterfall was crowded, so we had to wait in turn to climb over the rocks. And I took pictures as much as possible. Because I had just had the cast on my broken right leg removed, I didn't continue the path inside the cave due to the pressure on my leg, but I asked my friend to take a few pictures to share with you.
Inside the cave is amazing.
The village of Artaktad is located in the Razavi Khorasan province, around the city of Kalat. If you want to travel from Mashhad, you need to head towards Kalat, and after a mountainous and green route, you will reach this calm and pleasant village. Artaktad is a relatively small village, but it has very beautiful nature; especially in spring and summer when everything turns green and the weather is cool and pleasant. Its inhabitants are mostly farmers and livestock breeders, and their lifestyle is very simple. It was really great for my first experience. Although the route was a bit long, it was worth it. To come to this village, you definitely need to stay one night here so you don't feel the fatigue of the journey. From the beginning of the village to the main entrance, there were many accommodations in the surrounding gardens for travelers to stay, which has greatly boosted the area. I will pin the village itself or one of the closest accommodations for you to use as well. I hope you enjoyed it. A delightful experience.
Stay tuned for more photos from my travels and gatherings. Goodbye😍😍😘😘😘
