Tang-e Dom Asb

Tang-e Dom Asb (Horse Tail Gorge) is one of the natural attractions of Fars Province. It lies 40 to 50 kilometres south of Shiraz, in the Kuhmareh Sorkhi region near the village of Korehbas. The gorge takes its name from a distinctive waterfall that looks like a horse's tail. In the Sasanian era, the Kuhmareh Sorkhi region was known as Ram Divan and was home to nomadic tribes and pastoralists. Today, Tang-e Dom Asb is known as one of the most popular destinations for nature tourism and adventure in southern Iran.

To reach the area, first travel from Shiraz to the village of Korehbas. From there the walking route begins, crossing rivers, rocks and narrow valleys. In some places you must cross a lake about 200 metres long, which you can do by swimming or by using inflatable boats. The route follows a clear footpath with many ups and downs. Along the way, you can see a deep valley from the heights of the mountain, with the rushing Dom Asb River flowing at its heart. After passing through the gorge, the river enters the village of Korehbas. Further along the route, a landslide has created a lake 200 metres long, which can be crossed by swimming or in inflatable boats. The waterfall, which pours beautifully down from the heights of cliffs covered in bushes and green forest trees, reaches a height of 30 metres.

The best time to visit Tang-e Dom Asb is spring and summer, when the weather in the area is milder and nature is at its most beautiful. In these seasons the waterfall and river are powerful and full of water, and you can enjoy the area's natural beauty. When visiting, it is especially important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism and protect the environment, so that you can enjoy its natural beauty while helping to preserve it.
