Tang-e Nakhl-Khin

Tang-e Nakhl-Khin lies about 2 km north of the village of Nakhl-Khin, in Bastak County, Hormozgan Province. This seasonal canyon is roughly 3 km long. It was carved by water erosion and sits at an elevation of about 840 meters above sea level. The river rises in the Gavbast highlands in the southern Zagros Mountains, flows through the gorge, and finally enters the Barasht Plain to the east of the area.

A seasonal river runs through the heart of the canyon. Over time it has carved striking rocks and stone walls. This natural landscape resembles a small green garden in the middle of the southern desert, creating a remarkable and rare sight amid the region's dry, barren lands.

To get there, simply head about 2 km northwest from the village of Nakhl-Khin until you reach the start of the canyon. Visiting the gorge is free and the route has no amenities, so it is advisable to bring basic equipment and check the weather conditions. The best time to visit Tang-e Nakhl-Khin is spring, when the seasonal river flows, the plains are green, and the rocky route is full of water and looks even more beautiful.
