The HOTTEST place ON EARTH! 

In the 6th episode of Paths Less Traveled - Iran, I’m visiting what is said to be the hottest place in the world! The Lut Desert, widely referred to as Dasht-e Lut (دشت لوت / کویر لوت) is a salt desert located near the city of Kerman in Iran.
The surface of its sand has been measured at temperatures as high as 70.7 °C (159.3 °F), making it one of the world's driest and hottest places.
Starting in Kerman city, I meet up with a couple of new friends that I’ve been meeting along the road in my travels across Iran, and we head towards the desert.
On the way we stop at the magical Shahzadeh Mahan Historical Garden (باغ شاهزاده ماهان), a fantastic Persian garden providing a splash of green and seeming oasis in the desert land outside of Kerman.
We then head to the nearby Shah Nematollah Vali Shrine (آرامگاه شاه نعمت الله ولی) in Mahan (ماهان) - The peaceful shrine and tomb of a revered Iranian Dervish.
Then it’s time to head to the desert! We stop a little outside of the small city of Shahdad (شهداد) for a lunch of the local dish, Boz Ghorme and a sample of the Iranian picked garlic, Toshi Seer, aged for 2 years!
Then it’s into the 4x4, and into the desert itself, heading off road into this brutal landscape.
Come and join me to see this wonderfully different side of Iran!

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.
