Ability level: Intermediate

Kolar Peak (also known as Kolar Chiro) is one of the notable summits of the Zagros Mountains in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. It lies in Gandoman County and is reported to be about 3,609 meters high. The peak stands near the Choghakhor and Gandoman wetlands. Thanks to its considerable height, its wide natural views and the varied environment on the Zagros slopes, it is a popular destination for mountaineers and nature lovers.

The vegetation on the lower slopes of the peak consists of rangeland shrubs, bushes and hardy Zagros plants, which suit the region's dry and semi-arid climate. At higher elevations, because of the harsh weather, plant cover is very sparse and mostly made up of plants that tolerate cold and wind. This mountain environment is home to animal species such as mountain birds and small mammals, and offers visitors unique natural scenery.

There are several routes to Kolar Peak. One is the climb from the northeast (the Tangeh Siah spring), and another starts from the southwest (the Keyghan spring). Both routes require a long trek and good physical fitness, and parts of them have no permanent water sources, so it is essential to carry enough water and equipment. The best time to climb is from spring to early autumn, because snow and freezing temperatures make conditions harder in winter and early spring.

The route to Kolar Peak starts at the Tangeh Siyah Spring (northeast) and follows a footpath with moderate to steep slopes. There are no permanent water sources along the way, so carrying enough water is essential. Alternatively, the southwest route (Kayghan Spring) is also used to reach the summit. It offers attractive scenery but, like the northern route, has no permanent springs. Both routes are long and require good physical fitness and standard mountaineering equipment. They are usually done as a day climb.
