Khomdeh Village

Khomdeh is one of the villages in the central district of Firuzkuh County, Tehran Province, known for its pleasant climate and scenic views. It lies in the lush Hableh Rud (Nemrud) region, roughly 120 kilometers from Tehran. Set in the heart of the Alborz heights and surrounded by fruit orchards and flowing streams, the village makes a delightful destination for escaping the bustle of the city and enjoying quiet nature.

One of Khomdeh's main attractions is its mineral spring. The warm mineral water of the spring is said to have healing properties, and it feeds the natural Khamubeh pool, also called "Bikhambu," on the edge of the village. Around the village stretch orchards of walnuts and a variety of fruits such as apples, pears, sour cherries, cherries and peaches. Besides their visual beauty, they are a source of income and joy for the villagers. The Hableh Rud River, which flows through the area, is the main reason for Khomdeh's greenery and thriving agriculture. The dense vegetation here provides a habitat for many species of small birds, birds of prey such as falcons, and animals such as hedgehogs, foxes, wolves and rabbits. In addition, the Vashi Gorge lies 30 kilometers away, and Khomdeh is regarded as the second most important tourist spot in Firuzkuh after the Vashi Gorge. The combination of beautiful nature, fruitful orchards, historical sights and a scenic route makes Khomdeh an excellent destination for nature tourism and relaxing in the mountains.

To reach Khomdeh, first drive from Tehran toward Firuzkuh. After passing through the town of Firuzkuh, follow the road toward Zarrin Shahr and keep to the village's signposts. The village is about 20 kilometers past Firuzkuh. The best time to visit Khomdeh is spring and summer, when the landscape is green, the orchards are full of fruit and the weather is pleasant. Autumn also offers colorful scenery, but early cold and precipitation can make the trip difficult. For responsible nature tourism, it is especially important to keep the environment clean, respect local farmers and avoid polluting the spring water.
