“My name is Ahmed Jalal. I am from a small village located 10 kilometers away from Rwanduz. I was born and raised and still live in this area. The Zagros Mountain Trail is an incredible project that brings together people who love hiking and want to experience the beauty of Kurdistan’s mountains. Through the ZMT you can explore all the mountains of Kurdistan while also gaining insight into the region’s culture, traditions, and the customs of its villages. It is a truly beautiful, cultural, and inspiring project.”
