You may have done the Mongol Rally in Iran before, but if you have not, it will be worth giving it a try! You will be blown away by the amount and extent of the surprises awaiting you here. Iran is an ancient country with a rich history and culture that welcomes you. We will be there during the Mongol Rally of 2020 in Iran to show you around our country from the entrance to the departure.

So, if you want us to organize a tour for you inside Iran and customize it to your desire, you are in the right place. If you want to visit Iran your own way, pitch a tent here and there and cross the country the way you like it, we can only wish you good luck and a lot of best wishes.

Depending on where you start and how long time you spend in Iran, you can have various plans. Here are the points of entry in Iran:

Mongol Rally in Iran Starts & Ends Here

The rally organizers let you choose your own route. Generally, you arrive on the northwest and depart on the northeast to end your  Mongol Rally in Iran. The points of entry at the northwest are:

1. Astarta border town: You come from Azerbaijan and enter Iran in this town. In order to stay somewhere nice overnight without getting stuck in awful traffic, a close place to reach could be Fuman. It’s approximately 160 km from Astara to Fuman.
2. Nordooz border town: You come from Armenia and enter Iran in this town. The closest town worth a stay you can go to for an overnight rest in Tabriz. It’s approximately 130 km from Nordooz to Tabriz.
3. Maku border town: You come from Turkey and enter Iran in this town. To continue your drive to a city where you can comfortably get rest, you can reach Tabriz. It’s approximately 245 km from Maku to Tabriz.

It’s quite clear how you end your trip in Iran: You reach out to Bajgiran to depart from Iran. The question is how long you want to spend time in Iran.

How to Proceed Your Mongol Rally in Iran from there

There could be from 3 days to X days of driving in Iran to enjoy your adventure and leave the country. The shortest one can start from Astara and the longest one can be wherever you enter Iran.

Those who have contacted us so far, prefer to travel across Iran for at least a week. Some keep visiting different parts of Iran for almost 2 weeks. It all depends on how you want to spend your Mongol Rally in Iran. Here are a couple of recommendations for you to keep in mind while planning your trip across Iran:

• You never know how things will go on at the border towns. So, choose your first destination in Iran in the close distance so that a late completion of the process at the border could end in a comfortable place to relax and revitalize for the next day.
• Choose your last place of an overnight stay in a city/town where you could reach out to the point of exit more conveniently and quickly the next day. This is because of the unknown nature of the time period you may have to spend at the final border town in Iran.

Possible Routes for Crossing Iran during the Mongol Rally

Again, as I’ve mentioned above, it’s up to you. However, here are some possible routes for you to take while you cross Iran to continue with your car rally:

Route 1 – 1660 km: Nordooz (arrival) > Tabriz > Tehran > Sabzevar > Bajgiran
