Ania from Britannia and Laurent from France - Aug 2013

I finally resettled at home. It was a pleasure to be with you, to Climb Mount Damavand, Iran and to visit your country. The whole trip de-mistified a wonderful nation behind a propaganda of media and politics.
Thank you Mr. Soltani.

"Solard's team was superb. Their support from getting the visas, preparing for the mountain, guiding and then looking after our recovery was second to none. Everybody went an extra mile. We sincerely recommend their services."

Parvaneh – it was really surreal experience to meet you again and have you as a guide. I have a feeling that there will be more. Safe travels and stay in touch.

Best regards and many happy climbing adventures. Ania
