Kharestan Forest Park, Behbahan

Kharestan Forest Park is located in Khuzestan Province, about 3 km from the center of Behbahan. The park lies beside the Marun River and covers an area of about 25 hectares. Its proximity to the city means visitors can easily enjoy the green space and the peace of the forest.

With its dense forest cover, the shade of tall trees and the gentle flow of the Marun River, the park offers a cool and pleasant environment. Together with facilities such as walking paths, a children's play area, restrooms, drinking water, parking and a snack bar, Kharestan's greenery has made it a popular place to escape the heat of the south, relax and spend leisure time in the heart of nature.

To reach the park, take the Behbahan–Ramhormoz road and then turn onto the side road leading to the park; the drive takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Spring and summer, when the weather is mild and the forest is lush, are considered the best seasons to visit. Autumn also adds beauty to the landscape as the leaves change color. Visitors should respect the environment, such as by collecting their trash and avoiding lighting fires or harming plants and wildlife, to help keep this beautiful natural area healthy.
