Chaharborj Village is located in Damankuh Rural District, in the Central District of Esfarayen County, North Khorasan Province. The village lies 35 kilometers west of Esfarayen and close to Bojnord County. With a population of more than 2,000, Chaharborj has become known as the "Village of the Blind" because of the high prevalence of congenital blindness among its residents. This condition has arisen in the area because of marriages between relatives and recessive genes passed down through earlier generations.

Beyond its genetic distinctiveness, Chaharborj has beautiful natural scenery that makes it an appealing destination for travellers. The village sits in a mountainous region, surrounded by lovely plains and hills. The enchanting nature and clean air of Chaharborj create an ideal setting for visitors, especially in spring and summer.

Around Chaharborj there are several natural springs whose clear, fresh water has greatly helped the area's agriculture and livestock farming. These springs are not only economically important but also attractive as natural tourist spots. Visitors can relax near the springs and enjoy the pleasant scenery around them.
