Igdar Spring

Igdar Spring is one of the lesser-known natural attractions of Isfahan Province, located near Dehaqan and the village of Hamgin, in Semirom County. The spring lies amid mountain scenery and the unspoiled landscapes of the region. Because it is far from the bustle of the city, it makes a good destination for nature lovers and for anyone who wants to discover less-visited places. The spring is surrounded by green pastures, mountain hills and varied vegetation. Together with the area's other natural attractions, such as Hamgin Wetland, Cheshmeh Ali, Mardang Spring, Shah Safi Valley and Hamzar Baravadeh Spring, it forms a valuable collection of the region's natural sights.

The clear water of Igdar Spring usually keeps flowing even in summer, giving the surrounding landscape a special freshness. In years of low rainfall, the small pool or lake next to the spring may dry up and the water may flow only as a small stream, but the beauty and calm of the setting remain. The route to the spring passes through natural scenery and mountain pastures. Because the area is so unspoiled, it is a good destination for nature photography, relaxing outdoors and enjoying natural views. The spring's distance from busy routes has kept its natural, untouched character.

To reach Igdar Spring, after passing through the village of Hamgin you need to drive part of the way on a dirt road that continues for several kilometres, and in two places you have to cross a watercourse. For this reason, an SUV or a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended, especially after rain. The best time to visit Igdar Spring is late Farvardin and Ordibehesht (mid-April to May), when the area is at its greenest and has the most water, although the spring usually keeps flowing in summer as well. During your visit, do not leave litter, damage the vegetation, pollute the spring water or leave the natural paths, so that this pristine attraction keeps its beauty and freshness.
