 The Butterfly watching Tours : Iran's Migratory Butterfly migration and life Tour, in a 1 to 15  day Packages.

Have you ever dreamed of being surrounded by hundreds of exquisite butterflies? Or of perhaps getting really "up close and personal" with a delicate Parnassius mnemosyne , or a Cigaritis maxima and Euchloe pulverata ? So close you could look them in the eye? Or maybe you'd like to feel an exquisite Lycaena phoenicurus  or a magical Hyponephele amardea  gently brush your face with delicate gossamer wings?
Iran is home for many  species of Butterflies. Our butterfly tours are designed to suit the experienced butterfly watcher as well as the absolute beginner in trying to see a wide variety of these animals.
Butterfly watching can easily be combined with a general natural history or bird watching tour or as a dedicated tour on the lines of the sample itinerary given below. IRAN TRAVELING CENTER can arrange for a competent field naturalist to accompany keen lepidopterists.
