Hiravi Village

Hiravi is one of the beautiful villages of Kermanshah Province, located in the Central District of Paveh County, in Holi Rural District. The villagers speak Kurdish with the Jafi dialect. According to the 2006 census (1385 in the Solar Hijri calendar), Hiravi had a population of 125 people in 33 households. With its distinctive Hawraman-style architecture and its setting beside the Sirvan River, the village has a striking and unique look.

The natural surroundings of Hiravi, with views of the full-flowing Sirvan River and groves of olive and pomegranate trees, create a scenic and peaceful atmosphere. The construction of the Hiravi regulating dam has also helped olive orchards spread across the area. Hiravi's pomegranate paste and olives have a special reputation and are very popular in the region. Thanks to its proximity to the Sirvan, the village has a mild, humid climate; summers are hot and sunny, and winters are relatively mild.

To reach Hiravi, drive from Paveh toward Nowsud, and after crossing the Do-Ab Bridge, take the side road toward the Hiravi Dam and then the village. The best time to visit is from late spring to early autumn, because in winter there is precipitation and the roads may be slippery. While in the village, please stay on the marked paths, take your trash with you, and treat nature, the local residents and the environment with respect.
