Tang-e Maghar

Tang-e Maghar is located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, in Bahmai County, about 10 kilometres north of the town of Likak. With its mild climate and unspoiled nature, the area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Iran. Thanks to its particular geographic position and its proximity to the Marun River, Tang-e Maghar has diverse vegetation and stunning natural scenery. The gorge lies at an elevation of between 1,000 and 1,500 metres above sea level.

Historically, Tang-e Maghar contains rock-cut architectural remains from the Sasanian period, which were registered as one of Iran's national heritage sites on 2 Aban 1382 (Solar Hijri) under registration number 10578. Archaeological studies suggest that the area was a recreation spot for Sasanian rulers and kings, and sections of the Royal Road can be seen in the area.

To reach Tang-e Maghar, head north from the town of Likak and, after about 10 kilometres, you will arrive at the area. The road linking Tang-e Maghar to the Sar Asiab-e Yousefi district and Lendeh County is one of the region's old roads; in the past, the drivable section of this winding road ended at this gorge. Today this road connects the southern and southwestern provinces of Iran to the central and eastern parts of the country.
