One-Day Iran Train Tour – Tehran to Shirgah Forest

Discover Iran’s legendary Northern Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on this one-day train tour from Tehran. Travel across diverse landscapes, from the dry central plains and the vast Kavir Desert to the towering Alborz Mountains and the lush Hyrcanian Forests of the north.

Your journey begins early at Tehran Railway Station and follows the historic route through Garmasar, Bonakuh, Simindasht, Zarrindasht, Firouzkuh, Gadok, Shur Ab, and Veresk. Along the way, marvel at early 20th-century engineering feats including tunnels, loops, and iconic bridges such as the world-famous Veresk Bridge, perched dramatically over a deep valley.

The final destination is Shirgah Forest, where you’ll enjoy fresh mountain air, traditional markets, and live local music. Onboard, guests are served a freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and refreshments while admiring panoramic views from the comfort of a private train. The train returns to Tehran around midnight, completing an unforgettable day of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery.
