Barfanbar Peak

Barfanbar Peak is located 50 kilometers south of the city of Qom, in the southern orchards of Fordo Village, which belongs to the Central District of Kahak County. The mountain range is bordered by the Fordo village area to the north, the Vasef area (Mohaqeqin Village) to the east, the Palang-e Abi mountain range to the west, and Jasb Rural District in Markazi Province to the south. At 3,224 meters, the peak is the highest natural point in all of Qom Province, which is why the area sees climbers from across the province and the country every week, especially in recent years. A valley 600 meters deep beside Barfanbar Peak collects large amounts of snow in winter, and at times it remains full of frozen snow even into summer. The name "Barfanbar" (meaning "snow store") comes from this feature.

The mountainous areas of Qom have rich vegetation, and shrubs such as wild almond, medlar and wild pistachio are typical plants of these regions. A variety of animal species can also be seen here, such as jackals, wolves, foxes, hares, chukar partridges, see-see partridges, steppe eagles, kestrels, falcons, vultures and various kinds of sparrows.

There are several routes to the summit, including the route up the valley from Karmjegan Village, the route up the valley from Fordo Village (which itself has several sub-routes), the route from the Jasb area, and the route up the Vasef valley. The level of difficulty varies depending on the route you choose.
