Dasheh Village

Dasheh is one of the old villages of Paveh County in Kermanshah Province. It lies in the Hawraman region, on the slopes of Mount Behrooj, amid the mountain landscapes of the Zagros. The village is about 10 km from the city of Paveh. Its natural features include a mild mountain climate, many springs, traditional orchards and green highlands. The people of Dasheh speak Hawrami, and their culture and way of life are closely tied to the local traditions of the region. Mount Behrooj, which rises beside the village, and Tapedol, with its dense tree cover facing it, are the defining elements of Dasheh's landscape.

The main sights of Dasheh village include the Hanekavan Spring, the Sartaviran Spring, the Tapedol forest area and the Hilavo summer pasture. Hanekavan Spring lies downstream of the village. With its abundant flow and a traditional teahouse nearby, it is a well-known recreation spot in the region. Sartaviran Spring, in the central part of the village, is the source of the villagers' drinking water. Around Dasheh, the Koren summer pasture and the Daratafi rangeland also lie on the slopes of Mount Behrooj and, together with Hilavo, are among the region's natural landscapes. The remains of Paskeh Castle are a sign of the village's historical past, although little of this old structure survives today. Orchard keeping, beekeeping, walnut gathering, selling mulberries and gathering terebinth resin (saqqez) are among the activities that support local livelihoods, and orchard produce such as walnuts, mulberries and pomegranates is grown in the village.

To reach Dasheh, take the road leading to the village from the city of Paveh and drive the roughly 10 km route by car. Hanekavan Spring, the Tapedol forest area and the highlands around the village are among the places you can visit. Spring, especially late spring, and summer are good times to visit the springs and summer pastures of the area; in autumn, the orchards and mountain slopes take on a different look. Because the area is mountainous, it is best to check road and weather conditions before setting out. Visitors should also avoid leaving litter, damaging trees and vegetation, polluting the springs, and entering private orchards and land without permission. In addition, given the reported landslide in the village in Bahman 1401, it is important to pay attention to the safety of routes and to areas at risk.
