The mountainous nature in northwestern Iran, especially those located between Ardabil and Gilan provinces, has turned the region into one of the best places for lovers of off-road routes, especially mountain bikers.
The beautiful region of Fandoqloo in Ardabil province annually attracts thousands of tourists, especially off-road drivers, as it is home to one of the most pristine forests of Iran. It is located between the three cities of Ardabil, Namin and Astara in the northwest of Iran.
The Fandoqloo Forest is also located on the eastern edge of the city which is an attractive environment for tourists.
One kilometre away from the city you can find one of the branches of the Aji Chai River which is a seasonal river. This region like many others in Iran has a high capacity for off-roaders due to the existence of different types of natural attractions.
In Iran, tourists can find mountains, rivers as well as deserts and even forests. However, people cannot drive to some of these regions because of the dangers.
