As part of its efforts to create opportunities for meaningful family experiences, strengthen connections among families, and build lasting memories with children, the families of Pardis Solaleh Kindergarten embarked on an adventurous family trip to the beautiful Alamut region. During this journey, mothers, fathers, and children shared a unique experience of exploring nature, discovering Iran’s history and culture, and experiencing life in the heart of nature.

The journey began with a visit to the historic rocky formations of Andej, where families gathered to admire the distinctive landscape and historical features of the area. This part of the trip gave children the opportunity to learn about the region’s geography and history alongside their parents while experiencing firsthand some of the natural and historical treasures that form part of Iran’s heritage.

The Pardis Solaleh family group then continued toward the village of Andej. Walking through the village and observing its distinctive character offered a new experience for both children and families. The local architecture, rural pathways, and peaceful atmosphere provided an opportunity to step away from everyday routines and discover a different way of living in harmony with nature.

Along the way, the families stopped to rest and have lunch. A fish pond at the stop created a particularly exciting experience for the children. With curiosity and enthusiasm, they fed the fish and spent time with their parents watching them move through the water and engaging more closely with the natural world. These simple and joyful moments became an important part of the children’s experience, giving them an opportunity to observe and discover the living world around them.

After the break, the journey continued through the beautiful natural landscapes of the region, where the families would spend the night surrounded by nature. They settled into the campsite and set up their tents, experiencing what it was like to live in nature for a short while. Working together to prepare their campsite and participating in different activities made the atmosphere even warmer and more friendly.

One of the most memorable parts of the trip was sharing dinner together in the heart of nature. After a full day of exploring, the families gathered around one another and enjoyed dinner in a warm and friendly atmosphere. It was a special opportunity to talk, laugh, and share stories and experiences from the day.

As night fell, a different kind of experience began. The families sat together beneath the night sky and gazed at the stars. Away from the bright lights of the city, the star-filled sky appeared even more vivid. Children had the opportunity to look up at the sky alongside their parents, talk about the stars and the world around them, and experience a peaceful and memorable evening. Sitting together under the stars brought a special sense of calm to the end of the first day.

The following morning, after getting ready, the families set out to hike toward Alamut Castle. This part of the journey combined physical activity, nature exploration, and an introduction to Iranian history. Walking along the trail and reaching the region’s scenic viewpoints gave children and parents the opportunity to share an active experience while learning more about the history and heritage of the land.
