Sistan va Baluchestan

Hello MahsaAsl! Thank you for your response. I would really like to visit Zabol though and that's near Afghanistan. I did managed to find some couchsurfers living in Zahedan. I am still finding information in regards to that region. I am planning to proceed here from Shiraz.

Hi there djayasudarma,

My partner and I spent a fair bit of time in these areas last year, and they were the highlight of our trip. We found it totally safe (although people from Tehran will tell you different :)), and the people the most overwhelmingly friendly in a country full of lovely people. You can find the famous Alex in Zahedan, but we couldn't find Couchsurfers in Zabol. There is a budget hotel in the town that won't take foreigners, and a pricey one on the entrance to town. We just wandered around until a family found us, adopted us and took us to stay with them! There are a few hosts in Chabahar too. There's tons to see in the area. We have a few blog posts that will tell the story easier....

Bandar Abbas and around
Chabahar
Zahedan and Zabol

Hi kali123!

Haha funny because it's your blog that I found while googling for sistan va baluchestan! I was wondering of doing exactly just "We just wandered around until a family found us, adopted us and took us to stay with them!". Thank you so much for your response and i really love the informative blog by the way!

Hi
I highly recommend you to visit Kuh-Khajeh and Shahre-Sookhteh if it is possible for you.
Sistan's culture is a bit like Pakistan, but this region in Iran is completely safe.
I also recommend you to listen to some of their folklore music pieces as their music is heavily linked with magic.

Thank you for this information as well. Looks like I will be coming to this area after my days in Zagros. Will give updates when I have them.
