Grading types of trips:
In order to inform trippers about our plans, we explain our classification and grading of them. so people who want to join with us to trip could choose any kind of the trips that are suitable for them according to their ability, mood and experiences. It is mentioned that these gradations are according to different seasons. It is clear that because of cold weather in winter holding these trips have some more problems, though we do our level best. First we, "kalout", classified our trips to three general groups: cultural-historical, ecotourism and combined these two types of trips. Among of these group according to roots, conditions and level of activities we grading our trips from 1 up to 4 degree.

Cultural-historical trips
These types of our trips are included visiting the historical places, historical and wonderful villages, life of nomads and many traditional customs and ceremonies in our country. Since there is no any sport activity in these types of trips they are befitting for all ages but some people who have bodily defect.

Ecotourism trips
These types of trips are usually with sports activities. During a trip tourists visit many and various sights, such as mountains, forests, falls, springs, costal promenade, rivers, marshes, islands, salty deserts, and wildlife refuges in so many wonderful lands. It is interesting to say that some of these lands are complete, unique and far away. Along side these trips tourists may visit many attractive villages. Ecotourism trips are arranged according their activities to different plans like tracking, climbing mountains, rock climbing, bicycle, ski and jockeying. Among these plans, relation to their hardness, plans of climbing, tracking and bicycle, are grading to four levels. Plans of rock climbing have been graded in keeping with international standard. Rest of the plans have not any special grades.
Following some gradation of ecotourism plans are explained:
A: tracking plans, most of the Kalout plans are in this field. These plans of trips are included tracking on forests, national parks, protective area, villages, the countries, slops, deserts and salt desert.
Gradation of this plans from easy up to hard trips are:
Tracking grade 1: this grade included easiest plan of tracking that has less sports activities than other plans. All people who enjoyed of bodily health could take part in this plan. Tracking would be done on places that they are lower than 3000M high, and usually, on clear roots with slight declivity. Consuming times for this type of tracking is 1-3 hours. For example "sharestanak" plan.
Grade 2: tracking in this plan would be done on roots that have a little more declivities, consuming times is 3-5 hours. For example fifth station of "Tochal" plan.
Grade 3: this type of tracking would be done on roots with slight and sharp declivities and higher point. Consuming of times is often 6-7 hours a day, of course it might be changed, one day more than 7, other day less than 6 hours. In these plans trippers usually stay in camping or local houses. For example "jangle abr" plan.
Grade 4: this type of tracking is so hard than the others. Tracking would be done during whole day on roots that they have almost sharp declivities. Consuming of times might be changed. Trippers may stay in camping or local houses. Example "Ab bar to shaft" plan.

B: climbing plans
This kind of plan are included all of the climbing that would be done at over 3000M high point on rough and stony roots. It is clear that such climbing in winter have more problems. Resulting tripper must be enjoying of healthy body and soul.
Grading these types of plans is:
Climbing grade 1: climbing on clear root at 3000M high in one day. Example: climbing to pick of "Kolackchal" plan.
Grade 2: climbing to picks that they have over 4000M high. This trip takes more than one day. Climbing must be practice well before. Example: picks of "Tochal, Alvand, Shirkouh".

Grade 4: winter climbing, adding to considering all of the points that mentioned above, mountaineers must bring in suitable equipments to climbing. Consuming times is almost consuming times in summer. Example picks of "Damavand, Alamkouh" plans.

Combination tripe, including ecotourism, cultural and historical plans. These types of trips usually takes a long times rather than special trips. In addition ecotourism, tracking, visiting cultural-historical places and villages where they are far away and some of them are not known yet. Tripper could see kinds of ceremony, customs and celebrations of different Iranian tribes. As well as tourists find out with process of making handicrafts. Furthermore they could attend in some ceremony or festivals such as picking flowers and fruits, shearing, milking, felting, matting, carpet-weaving and preparing local dishes. In these plans trippers discern more about way of villagers' life. It must be mentioned that usually ecotourism in these plans has light or mild degree. Tourists could visit markets and texture of cities at the beginning or end of the trip. These verities of plans make the trip more and more beautiful and remindful. Example " from Parseh to Parishan, Elami civilization on sunrise's country and Spakho" plans.
