Dalamper Summer Pasture

Dalamper Summer Pasture lies on the slopes and heights of Mount Dalamper. It is one of the natural attractions of Oshnavieh County in West Azerbaijan Province, about 45 kilometers from Urmia and 35 kilometers from Oshnavieh. The summit, at an altitude of about 3,500 meters, stands on the border of Iran, Turkey and Iraq. With its pristine nature, cold climate and mountain scenery, the area is an attractive destination for lovers of high-altitude trekking and nature tourism, especially in the months when the peak is still covered in snow and the air is cool and pleasant.

In this area you can visit the glacial Lake Dalamper, which is roughly 50 meters deep and 450 meters wide, the Solar Tokalan Waterfall and crystal-clear springs. In spring you can enjoy the vegetation, which includes wild almond, astragalus (gavan), wild sour cherry and mountain flowers. The pasture is a habitat for species such as ibex, fox, wolf and jackal, and for birds such as eagles and falcons. The views of flower-filled meadows and snow-capped peaks create a unique setting for photography and for enjoying nature.

To reach Dalamper Summer Pasture from Urmia, drive toward Oshnavieh, then turn off at the Agh Bolagh junction toward Dizaj Village and then Soleh Dokol Village. From there, a dirt road of about 10 kilometers must be covered on foot or by off-road vehicle. The best time to visit is late spring and summer, when the snow on the route has melted and the weather is mild and bearable. When visiting, please stay on marked paths, do not leave any litter in nature, and avoid uprooting plants or disturbing animals, so that you can enjoy responsible nature tourism and this natural heritage is preserved for future generations.
