Shur Valley

Shur Valley, also known as Shureh Darreh, is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Aradan County, Semnan Province, located about 30 kilometers north of the village of Kohan Abad. The valley can be reached by a gravel road, and vehicles such as cars and motorcycles can be driven as far as the start of the valley. Shur Valley has a permanent river with salty water. Because of its particular "sel" sections (areas covered with salt or slippery mud), crossing it requires suitable equipment, especially waterproof shoes.

The valley is neither dangerous nor precipitous, and its trail has a gentle slope and a relatively high level of safety, which makes it suitable for general nature tourism. The valley's beauties include tall and short waterfalls, the delightful sound of falling water, solid single-piece rock walls, a salt crust on the valley floor, and natural fossils, all of which add to its appeal. The combination of rock, salt, sound and the natural flow of water has made this valley one of the most unique natural attractions in the region.

At the end of Shur Valley there is a large "sel" that is difficult to cross without suitable equipment. However, some climbers have made the crossing easier by stringing a cable from the top to the bottom of this sel. After passing this point and following a longer route, you can reach an area called Hoomand Haj Vali. This area lies along the continuation of the Gezvosh gravel road to Dugush and Shamshirkuh, and it can be the final destination of an adventure in this pristine and beautiful nature.
