Iran has always been on my bucket list. I had heard so much about it on the news—some of it quite daunting. But my curiosity always outweighed the fear. I knew this land once shared strong cultural ties with India. I had read about the great poets, artists, doctors, and scholars from Iran, and I felt this was a chance worth taking.
From the very start, everything went smoothly. Right from our arrival, the people of Iran welcomed us with open arms. Our stay, our travels, and every little detail were taken care of so well. The art, the culture, the old buildings, the palaces, and the colorful bazaars truly impressed me.
The highlight of the trip was, without doubt, the people—so loving, so warm. Many of them spoke to us about Bollywood movies and actors with such excitement. It was surprising and heartwarming at the same time.
We explored many beautiful places, each with its own story to tell. The designs on the walls, the patterns, and the intricate details on the monuments were simply breathtaking. I was deeply moved by how rich Iranian culture and history truly are. Even the food was an experience in itself—the kebabs, fresh bread, fruits, and sweets were a treat for the taste buds.
What made this trip truly special was the feeling of connection. Iran is full of beauty, talent, and heart. It changed the way I saw the country, and I returned with nothing but love and respect.
I would love to go back someday—to see more places, meet more wonderful people, and once again experience the beauty of Iran.
