Zardgah Village

Zardgah is a small, sparsely populated village in South Khorasan Province, in Tabas County, Dihuk District and Kavir Rural District. It lies in an arid, semi-desert region, and according to the official census it had a population of about 59 people in about 17 households, which reflects its small, rural makeup. Its location near plains and desert landscapes gives residents a simple, peaceful local setting.

Because Zardgah sits on the edge of the desert areas of South Khorasan, it has no extensive tourist attractions. It can, however, offer visitors a taste of village life in a dry climate and the silence of a vast desert landscape. Nature lovers and photographers of desert scenery can enjoy the unique stillness, the views of sand dunes and the natural light of the sun at sunrise and sunset, although accommodation and tourist services in the village are limited.

To reach Zardgah, take the road from the city of Tabas towards Dihuk District, then continue on rural roads. These are paved up to near the village, while the final sections may be unpaved. The best time to visit for desert scenery is autumn and the mild part of winter, because summers in South Khorasan are very hot and dry. Visitors should follow the principles of responsible nature travel, including collecting all their litter, respecting private property and protecting the desert ecosystem, so that this fragile environment is preserved.
