Kapargah Canyon

Gapargah Canyon is one of the unspoiled natural attractions of Lorestan Province, northwest of Borujerd County. With its year-round river, rocky cliffs, beautiful scenery and diverse vegetation, it is a popular destination for nature tourism, hiking and outdoor adventure. The route through the canyon starts at Gapargah village and continues to the Vanaei area. The route can only be explored on foot or by bicycle, and crossing the river along the valley floor is a unique experience for visitors.

Deep inside the canyon, besides the stunning scenery and good hiking trails, you will find a natural cave, an old stone bridge and two hot springs, all of which make the trip even more appealing. Rock climbing and mountaineering routes also mean that professional athletes and adventure enthusiasts choose this area as an ideal destination all year round. The river flowing along the canyon floor gives the surroundings a special lushness and freshness.

To reach the canyon, first travel to Borujerd County in Lorestan Province and take the Goldasht road northwest of the city. Then pass through the villages of Sheikh Miri and Gapargah 1, 2 and 3 to reach the start of the canyon trail. At the end of the route you can enjoy the village of Vanaei, with its pleasant climate and the hospitality of its people. The best season to visit is spring to summer, when the river is full and the weather is mild. During your visit, follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as keeping the area clean, not damaging plants and respecting the quiet of the wildlife.
