We stopped briefly at Koohrang waterfall to see the extent of the water tunnels and the importance they played in the region. Visitors were mostly Iranians, not to say all. It was obvious that the remote region doesn't seem to be explored by foreigners that often.
Prior to meeting the Nomad driver who would take us along the narrow mountain lanes to Sar-e Agha Seyed village embedded in the heart of the cliffs we stopped at a"Nomad-like" camp to study the possibility of renting one of their tents in order to stay on the way back to Isfahan after having lived with the tribes.
We had lunch on the road before getting together with the driver who later took us to the village we would be staying at overnight.
There were times when I felt we wouldn't make it safely to the village, once driving on the narrow rocky roads carved in the mountain range seemed almost impossible and the permanent skidding off the road sensation was present all the way through. It was a long drive, which forced us to stop twice. Although the driver was well acquainted with the multiple paths and the tricky roads my uncertainty as to whether we would make it alive or not lingered on. The only distractors to that anxiety were some Nomad kids and some goat herds we came across on the way.
