Travelogue of Naser al-Din Shah to Gilan

In the text of these memoirs, Naser al-Din Shah does not explicitly mention why he was insistent on undertaking the journey to Gilan despite the heavy snow and severe cold, as well as the implicit opposition from those around him. However, upon his return in Qazvin, he provided an explanation, writing: "We had fled from the hands of Eid and the New Year's Eve, but it was not to be." This passage suggests that perhaps Naser al-Din Shah was determined to complete the journey despite the adverse weather conditions and objections from others, but ultimately, external factors may have interfered with his plans. Naser al-Din Shah's statement implies a sense of urgency or necessity that compelled him to undertake the journey despite the challenges.
