Melina in Wonderland | Just When You Think You’ve Seen It All!

Land of poppy flowers and spring vacation in mountainous summer villages in a distant paradise in the north of Gilan, Iran.

To get here, you have to take a very impassable unpaved road with steep slopes and dangerous turns, let alone the long distance from the main urban area to the heights makes it even more difficult to get here.

But the horrifying path is so fascinating and gorgeous that makes all the hardships worth it.

And finally, in the blink of an eye (feels that way as the real-time to get there is at least 3 hours!), suddenly the mountains, the river that shines with virginity, and the poppy flowers with extremely beautiful fiery red color appear on the horizon.

Each piece of land has its own vegetation, and from each plain you cross, another plain with specific totally different features appears in front of you.

From thick plains of yellow and purple flowers suddenly you get to a grassless plain whose greenery has been burned by intense sunlight.

As you rise up the mountains, huge green and yellow milkvetch full of thorns fill the land on a large scale.

On the other side of the mountain, thick meadows appear more and more, which is the only sign of one thing:

 A spring that boils from the heart of the mountain and underground so vigorously, with colder than icy water, while the weather is hot as hell!

Understandingly, If I start writing about a million times-heard boring stuff, there is always a chance no one reading my materials, so I try not to go down that road, but I feel like costumes, cuisine, and traditions I’m about to unveil are worth reading about. If you think about it, humanity is a very diverse concept wrapped around the same nature, dancing around the same instinctive fire, but oddly enough its exposed face is as varied as the droplets in the ocean, unbelievably diverse.
