Kohsar Valley

Kohsar Valley lies in the town of Kohsar (part of Savojbolagh County, Alborz Province), next to the village of Kordan and about 13 kilometres from the centre of Savojbolagh. The Kordan River runs through the valley, which sits on the slopes of the Alborz mountain range, making it a pleasant, green destination with a mild climate for nature lovers and climbers.

The valley has a dirt track and routes that combine riverside paths with forests of diverse vegetation. The river flows past orchards and through the northern part of the valley, and the surrounding scenery, with its mulberry, cherry and walnut trees, creates a delightful setting for nature walks. Besides hiking, you can swim in the Kordan River nearby, or even join horse-riding and paragliding tours around Kordan.

The valley is easily reached from the town of Kohsar. A paved road continues to the start of the valley, and you can either take a short walk or even drive into the heart of it. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is mild and the river is flowing. Responsible travel is essential to preserve the valley's beauty, so do not leave litter or damage the vegetation.
