Weekend special offer: “Dining” at the waterfall

Life Group – Samia Dehghanzadeh: When I turn my eyes, my mother is looking at the street from the window with her hand under her chin, I just lost watching her when my father enters the door and says: “This traffic is killing me, the air is so bad, I can’t breathe”, I look around. I do, the brothers and sisters are busy in every corner of the house.

all one voice; “Where are you?!”

These days, we have a holiday at our house, but we haven’t been anywhere far from the smoke, traffic, and hustle and bustle of our neighborhood for a while, and we haven’t breathed a sigh of relief. And I’m waiting to see the reaction of others. Heads are taken off the phone and turn towards me, without any coordination they ask in one voice where? My mother carelessly looks at the smiling people on the street and my father says: Where are you?!

I answer, “Let’s go to Ahar, his village has a waterfall and a river.” My sister yawns and says, “Shall we go to the village?” Do you know how far it is?” I say: “Not more than two hours.” Think that you are stuck in a traffic jam, and then you will arrive at an apartment, a place with feathers and trees. I add to my mother: “Mom, Imamzadeh also has a son” and she looks at my father with satisfaction.

Exciting family day and these lovely cutlets

We send the younger ones to find the water bottles to fill and put in the fridge to cool down, the mother is on her way to make the cutlets and it won’t be long before the delicious smell of them frying before the hood reaches our nostrils. I line up everyone’s coats and hiking boots and get the hiking poles out of the closet. My brother makes hats for everyone, and mats, dishes, tea flasks, fruit baskets, and technical checks of the car are also in my father’s expertise, and there is nothing to say, we just have to wake up early in the morning so that we don’t get exposed to the sun and heat to reach the top of the village. So we shut down early and wait for tomorrow, which is supposed to be an exciting family day.

Forward to the village and beyond

It’s morning and we woke up earlier than usual because this is the tomorrow we were waiting for, we don’t have the heart to go. The smaller ones yawn and grunt a little. My sister offers sun cream to everyone and my brother takes the power bank at the last minute and we all get in the car and head towards the village.

Ahar village is located in an area at an altitude of 2,140 meters above sea level, parallel to Tajrish region and 23 kilometers from Glenduk Lavasan, so to reach it, we will take Shahid Babaei highway to the entrance of Lashgarak road. From the beginning of Lashgark road to Ahar village, we have 33 kilometers to go.

On the way, mother picks hand-picked fruits so that we are not idle, and we sing a family poem together with our own harmony, and until the police, the road passes by as if in a blink of an eye, after the police, we find our way on the road. We continue. Now we have already passed through Haji Abad and Oshan, when we reach the exit of Behesht Valley, I tell my father that we should go from here and finally this side road will lead us to Ahar village. Ahar village is the largest village in Tehran in the Qasran river district. The Shekarab river is the most famous river in Ahar village with a length of 15 kilometers and we are very happy to walk next to the water house and its pleasant sound and cool air.

We hand in the things and park the car in Ahar square. My father takes a few deep breaths and says, “Akhish, what air.” The mother carefully looks around and enjoys and says: “What a good thing you did, you told me to come here, the weather is very nice.” Children run ahead of us and we walk a little slower.

Generosity and nothing else

Now, after the iron bridge, we have reached two roads, the right side goes to ten gorges and the left side goes to the waterfall. We want a waterfall, so we choose the left side and continue. The sound of birds and the shadow of the trees cheered us all up and the two or three hour journey and the slope did not bother us. We take more steps. We say flowers and we hear flowers. Cherry and cherry trees are twinkling on the side of the road. Some trees are outside the gardens and some others just have their branches over the garden wall.

While we were walking, we were picking some cherries when a kind old man came forward and said with his beautiful accent: “Welcome, please have a drink in our garden, pick whatever cherries and cherries you want, drink it.” and thank you, but then when we see that the matter is serious and not only nature is generous here but its people are more generous, we also accept their invitation and go to the garden. The old man who owns the garden says: “My wife and I are alone here and our children have all gone to the city.” My expenses also go through Azhmin Bagh, which is good, thank God. Our hearts are happy sometimes when we have many guests and there is a little laughter in our house.

The mother calls the children, puts some cutlets in a dish and says: “Take them to Haj Agha and thank them for letting us into their garden.” The children also listen in amazement without playfulness.

And finally, Imamzadeh and the bone that we lightened

After a while, we say goodbye to our host and take the road to reach Imamzadeh. My mother misses her heart and needs to visit. Along the village and among the gardens, our eyes finally open to the tombs of Imamzadeh Seyyed Tahir (AS) and Seyyed Zahid (AS) and we forget our tiredness and we go inside Imamzadeh to lighten our bones.

Imamzadeh area has both places to rest and stay and water to drink. Restrooms and shops have made work easier for everyone. Dad will find a suitable place under the trees and our boys will spread the mat and the ladies will have their rest today, especially the mother. The boys agreed not to let the mother touch black and white. Dad also completely agrees.

Yes and no reverse and new games

We vote on what to play. The reverse yes and no gets the most votes. We should ask a question and be careful to give the answer yes or no, but the answer should be the opposite. At first, our children thought it was easy, but when it was my turn, I asked so many questions that finally the mistakes started. Our laughter filled the area of ​​Imamzadeh and his father and son came towards us and said, “Are we playing?” We said no! They looked at us with surprise, we explained to them that we are still in the game and the answers are the opposite, and our laughter leveled again.

Tall and tall waterfall and family fun

After playing and eating, the young father, who was our teammate, thanked us and said: I always come to this village to enjoy the air. It’s nice to hear that you made my child happy, would you like to go a little higher to the Shekarab waterfall?

My mother and sisters stayed and I and my brothers and father, Niki and Asky Goyan went to the waterfall, it wasn’t even a quarter of an hour before the waterfall appeared before our eyes. A beautiful waterfall with a height of about ten meters. When our new travel companion saw our taste, he said: This waterfall is very blessed in the summers, it makes people, plants and animals feel better. My winter has a beautiful look that you just have to come and see.

We happily enjoyed the waterfall for a while and took a few pictures and walked towards Imamzadeh to tell my mother and sister and hear their words of praise. When we all gathered, we slowly gathered our things and went down to reach home. It is not sunset and we reached home, we are tired, but we have brought with us a week’s worth of energy and this is our best gift to ourselves.
