Diario di viagio
They talked to each other and a few hours later called their group like this. The four kind nice Italians were fully in agreement during the 2 day tour to Kerman, Mahan, Rayen and Kaluts in Lut Desert. 
4 different personalities but always close and friendly. While Ivan was very much into photography,
Nicoletta was more into enjoying the new landscapes and places. The time before and after sunset and sunrise of Kaluts was so incredible that Francesca and Nicoletta tried to sink into silence and surprise the stunning landscape offered.
Ivan was the nice friendly photographer for every one. Veronica was courageous and and strong. Trekking on the earth in Kaluts was not easy with bare feet for Francesca!
The tour also visited the colorful mountains and they enjoyed the carpet weaving workshop on the way to Rayen. Ivan and Veronica visited towers of silence on the hills near Kerman while Francesca and Nicoletta preferred to stay in Yas Guesthouse and rest. Saluti a tutti.
PHD students of geophysics
The tour to Mahan, Rayen, Bam and Kaluts took 2 days.
Rolando and Gianmarco students of geophysics and Laura a student of nerves sciences all PHD level were members of the tour. Right from the beginning of the route to lut desert and in the mountainous road of Sirch, stops started. It was unique opportunity for me as a guide to learn a lot about geology, geomorphology, formation of mountains, kaluts, egg hills etc,. At the same time,they had the chance of tangibly experiencing what they have already studied through books and sources at university. However, it was Laura who was the only adventurous member of the tour to trek, climb and take lots of pictures.
What made the three visitors surprised, the cool weather in Kerman, Mahan, Rayen and Sirch. Three different persons in Yazd had recommended them not to visit Kerman as it is HOTTER than Yazd!!!!!! However, since they had arranged their itinerary a few months ago, they couldn’t change and skip Kerman. Finally, it became a matter of joke and fun to remember the recommendation! Even, the heat of Lut Desert was not felt as the organization was perfect.
I am grateful to ROlando and Gianmarco for the scientific information they offered me during the visit to Kaluts, egg hills and Sirch village. I wish them all, as representatives of Napoli, happiness, prosperity and success. “We must not forget that sometimes some facts are as long as hundreds of kilometers!!!!!!”
different but perfect
The two day tour to Mahan, Rayen, Kaluts and Shahdad was great. The five nice members were in full agreement in everything.
The spice of the group was Andrea to whom everybody was kind and he was very dear to all. Sabrina who was considered the head was brave and adventurous. Benedata, though suffering a problem in her foot, joined the fun activities. Francesco, calm and nice, recorded everything in his memory, so patient. And Orsolla, for whom the heat was both a new experience and a matter was the only member with the fan in hand even in the van.
It had been stormy and hot during the day but we managed to arrive at the right time. The night of desert left all of us a stressful memory. AC could not start due to the low voltage the reason of which had been he fire in Shahdad and burning some trees and wooden lamp posts. To breathe in the room was too difficult. But midnight was the time everything ended in goodness. Coming back from the large Caravanserai the next morrning, a white dog found us very familiar. He approached and in his own method greeted each of us. and Orsolla was the first to touch him. Sabrina and Benedetta bravely stepped into the flowing old qanat around 8 meters underground and trekked for dozens of meters in the water. Visiting the five amazing Indian doors of Shah Nematollah Mausoleum (artistically made 4 centuries ago with marquetry and enameling on) was the ending part of the tour on August 7.
