Chatiz Forest

Chatiz Forest, also known as "Chah-e Tiz", is in Fars Province, 35 kilometers southeast of the city of Jahrom, on the road from Jahrom to Larestan. The area lies beside a mountain wall and is considered one of the natural and tourist attractions of Fars Province. With its warm climate and stunning natural scenery, Chatiz Forest is a delightful destination for travellers and local residents alike.

The vegetation of Chatiz Forest includes warm-climate trees such as sedr (jujube), wild almond (alook), kahur (prosopis), wild pistachio (baneh), milkvetch (gavan) and eucalyptus. With its sparse, thinly spaced trees set against the area's beautiful mountains, the forest creates a striking and unique landscape. The trees here are several hundred years old and are regarded as part of the region's natural heritage.

To reach Chatiz Forest, drive from Jahrom toward the Larestan road, and after about 35 kilometers you will arrive at the area. The best time to visit the forest is spring, especially during Nowruz and Nature Day (Sizdah Bedar), when the weather is mild and nature is at its most beautiful. When visiting, practicing responsible nature tourism, such as collecting your litter and respecting the environment, is essential to preserve this natural treasure.
