Quick status
| Destination | Trekkers' tent-overnight category | Practical rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|

Planning guidance
- Desert and mountain overnights may be feasible with conservative planning and local compliance.
- National parks and conservation zones can require permits or designated behavior.
- Use fallback accommodation near high-control corridors.
Planning takeaway: In Iran, validate each overnight point with local and protected-area guidance.
