Chamomile Flower Plain

The Chamomile Flower Plain lies in the Fandoqlou Forest area of Namin County, 35 kilometers from the city of Ardabil. In the second half of spring, the blooming chamomile flowers cover the area in a rare white carpet for visitors to enjoy. The Fandoqlou Chamomile Plain is one of the major attractions of Ardabil Province, and every year, when the weather is favorable, it draws many tourists to Ardabil.

Spring and early summer are when this chamomile plain is at its most beautiful. Every year, on the occasion of International Day of Flowers and Plants, a large festival called the Chamomile Flower Festival is held in the area on 24 and 25 Khordad. A plain of this size covered with this type of flower is the only one in the country that reaches the peak of its beauty at this time of year. Besides chamomile, other flowers such as lilies, wild roses, primroses, khas, violets and more also grow on the Fandoqlou plains, and alongside the chamomile they offer a special beauty to the eyes of tourists and nature lovers. The Fandoqlou chamomile plain has flowers, some of which grow as tall as 1 meter. The Chamomile Flower Festival is held every year in Khordad, which is why so many tourists travel to Fandoqlou in spring.

Because of its high altitude, the Fandoqlou Forest has very cool, pleasant summers and cold, damp winters. The forest is counted among the cold regions of Ardabil Province. So if you are tired of the summer heat, pack your bags and head for this beautiful forest. In addition, the area has two springs: one from the beginning of Farvardin to the end of Khordad, and the other from Mehr to Aban. In these seasons, the Fandoq forest is capable of growing a hundred kinds of flowers, including yarrow and chamomile.
