Yalan sand is the largest sandstone in Iran(Loot Desert)

Far away…Far away…And it was really far away, but it pulled us in like a gravity of the sun.

This is an introduction to an article about an intensive journey from Tehran to Dehsalam and Rig Yalan in the Lut Desert.

Alireza came and we followed him to the newly built and large residence of Dehsalam. The residence had 8 new rooms. An electric split and a water heater were also available for the bathroom. One of the rooms was inhabited when we found out that there are miners near Dehsalam who come here to stay at night.. The residence had a large courtyard. A large camel was resting outside the yard in the village, and Sahand kept asking to see him. In the darkness outside, the awesomeness of this large camel was spectacular.

The climate of Dehsalam should not be imagined like Shahdad on the other side of Lut. The altitude of Dehsalam is approximately 850 meters above sea level and you also need a jacket for night walks in winter..

I asked Alireza to prepare some omelettes for us for dinner. We were on the road all day and the night before, but I did not feel tired. The clean and cool air of Dehsalam completely made me happy.

The main program of the next day was to visit Rig Yalan. Although the dirt road was as far as we wanted to go, for any ride we might have preferred to rent a local car.. Alireza searched a lot and announced at the end of the night that finally a person who was also one of his relatives was willing to accompany him..

In the morning before the arrival of Alireza, who was supposed to prepare our breakfast, we had an exceptional opportunity to tour the beautiful Dehsalam.. We talked to Mr. Mohammadi from the very beginning. How kind and respectful he was. He prepared a dish from a small hut next to his land and introduced us to the dates of Dehsalam. In Dehsalam, they had two types of dates. In the local word one “Dry thorns” and the other “Perco” were. A delicious date was also introduced by one of the locals whose name “بَزمونی” It was, but it seemed that they had brought it from somewhere else and it did not belong to Dehsalam.

We saw the people of Dehsalam little by little and enjoyed the short conversational opportunities. One of the streets was paved and paved and he felt very good. The aqueduct was also manifested in two interesting pools there, which were known as baths. The pools were separate and enclosed for the men's and women's sections.

Due to the proximity of various mines to Dehsalam, there was a job opportunity for the people of Dehsalam. Qala-e-Zari copper and gold mine was one of the most famous. Raising camels, livestock and agriculture were among the main activities there.

 Little by little, it was time to go to Rig Yalan. The tour of the village was so tense that we did not understand the passage of time. We were on our way to the residence when the opportunity to buy a unique wicker basket from the ladies of Dehsalam was provided.. A basket that was finely woven and carefully woven.

I was excited. I had dreamed of being in Rig Yalan for many years and it had already come true. 5 of us were friends of Alireza in Pride. A driver and Alireza Rastgoo by his side. We are also three and a half in the back. It took an hour to cross the dirt in the endless plain and reach the beginning of the sand. When I saw the blue sky, I was excited by the saturated volume of blue. Honestly, his road was a lot of fun until the beginning of Rig Yalan. Rocky and sandy mountains. Hills. Mineral drilling and …

 The depth of Yalan Darlot's sand was something else to experience, but he wanted the possibilities. From the very beginning, the sand was so beautiful and high in its kind that it left a perfect half-day experience.. The high pebble hill was approximately 100 meters high by GPS calculation. We had to walk on all fours. The sun had burned some parts to the point of burning the soles of the feet. Safe from the summer situation.

We asked Alireza to provide us with lunch. After returning to their house, we went. There was silence, and from time to time it broke with the sound of children playing around. It was almost past 3 p.m.. We had to go to Nehbandan. There the sun was in a hurry to set. On the way after “چاه داشی” It was a beautiful hill called Mars. The cold and wind did not allow us to walk around them anymore and we were content with a photo.

And this time it was completely evening when we entered Nehbandan…
