A Sarch pan on a wood fire, a sturdy round pillow, an iron bowl, a piece of wood for kneading together with a cane basket to cool down the bread on, and a whole lot of flower, water and salt is all that is needed to make this paper-thin Kurdish bread. The thin, crispy texture of the bread is sensational on its own and the salty taste goes excellent with the sweet and soft taste of the local yogurt. But I can’t sob long about it as a whole bunch of friendly Iranians remind me of Iran’s true face; a lot of warmth, kindness and unlimited efforts to help you and make you feel welcome and at home. But the beauty lies in accepting and seeing life in all it facets; an unbearable night on the rough floor is easily softened by the surprise of the most delicious fresh bread in the morning and ever ongoing kindness of local people.

Because today I’m taking you to the beautiful mountain village of Javeher Deh’ One of the most locally favoured mountain villages Ramsar Country’s central district. Overlooking Javaher Deh village, a soft blanket of white cotton clouds seems to slowly wrap the mountains ahead of me. By private transportation from Ramsar; the Javaher Deh road will guide you straight to the village. There’s nothing interesting in visiting the village if it’s completely covered in clouds.

Often described as the most scenic spot of the Caspian sea, Ramsar is favored by many Tehrani’s to escape the capitals’ crowdedness and hot summer heat. Arriving by road, it’s the combination of mountains meeting sea that’s mesmerizing at once. Dip your feet in the Caspian Sea Officially not a sea, but the world’s largest inland water body. Add forested mountains, fields of rice, and a view on Ramsar town and you get why it’s arguably most rewarding reason to visit Ramsar.
