Iran (Persian: ایران Irān [ʔiːˈɾɒːn] ( listen)), also known as Persia (/ˈpɜːrʒə/), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran (Persian: جمهوری اسلامی ایران Jomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān ( listen)), is a sovereign state in Western Asia. With over 81 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 18th-most-populous country. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest country in the Middle East and the 17th-largest in the world. Iran is bordered to the northwest by Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, to the north by the Caspian Sea, to the northeast by Turkmenistan, to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. The country's central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, give it geostrategic importance.

I am surprised this is not a very well-known place amongst foreign tourists. I came across it coincidently on the internet and put it on my itinerary to visit. The Shirez canyon is 2 hours West of Khorramabad, towards Kuhdasht - in the Lorestan province. When we visited, there were many people & families camping out there, most of them had set up their tents to camp for many days. We met a large family of Lurs who ended up hosting us for lunch. They were going to camp out there for 2 weeks. You can hike in the canyon for many hours, and the scenes are really awesome. I'd definitely recommend visiting it for a day trip.

We camped in Kal-e Jeni for 1 night .one of most amazing and bizarre experiences you could possibly have. Very picturesque and authentic views. it has 30 minutes of simple hiking to reach to the water and the camp site. The river water is drinkable since it is underground water which comes from Ezmeyghan Village.you can hike simply to the end of valley in 1 hour. just a part of the pass the depth of water gets about 2-3 meters,but you can take the detour and walk on the side rocks. the water was not above my belly when i passed the water.You can also see Gabr houses dug in the valley when you get to the end of valley. If anyone wants to visit Kal-e Jeni, i strongly advice to also visit Ezmeyghan village which is about 5 km away from there. any questions, contact me in Instagram :Behnam.mh.1

you must walk in the river, so bring suitable shoes and extra dress with yourself. مسیر پیاده روی رودخانه طولانی هست و باید کفش مناسب برای راه رفتن داخل آب و لباس اضافی به همراه داشته باشید.
