Moghan Plain

The Moghan Plain is one of the most beautiful and expansive plains in Ardabil Province, famous for its stunning natural scenery and biodiversity. With its wide, green expanses, the plain provides a habitat for many plant and animal species. Moghan is known as a fertile region, with land well suited to farming and livestock breeding. The plain is also full of meadows and wild plants, which reach the peak of their bloom and beauty in spring and summer and give the region a fresh, pleasant look.

The Moghan Plain consists of ten towns: Bileh Savar, Parsabad, Jafarabad, Moghansar, Aslandooz, Germi, Angut, Eslamabad, Oltan and Babak, of which Germi is the oldest. According to sources, one third of the plain lies in Iran and the rest is in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Moghan County's heyday came when agro-industry was at the height of its economic prosperity; after separating from Meshgin Shahr, it gradually managed to expand its facilities.

The region's wetlands, such as Topraghkandi Wetland, Mil Moghan Wetland and Qarah Gol Wetland, are home to birds such as the Dalmatian pelican, ferruginous duck, Bewick's swan, whooper swan, crested duck and more, and birdwatching is one of the region's most important recreational activities. The lowland section has a very gentle slope and includes the northern areas up to the banks of the Aras River. The soil of this area is very fertile and also suitable for settlement. The name "Evergreen Spring Plain" refers to the lowland part of Moghan, which has extraordinary natural beauty.

The cool, pleasant summer climate of the region has made this lowland an attractive destination for travellers in the warm months of the year. A trip to this area in spring and summer, when nature is lush and green, can be very enjoyable and memorable. So don't miss the forests along the Aras River, the pristine nature of the Moghan lowland, and a glimpse of nomadic life in summer. Since Ardabil is a cold province with cold, snowy winters, the best time to visit the Moghan Plain is spring and summer, though keep in mind that Moghan's scenery can also be well worth seeing in autumn.
