Baragh Gorge

Baragh Gorge (Tang-e Baragh) is located in Fars Province, 80 kilometers southwest of Eqlid and 20 kilometers from the town of Sedeh. With its tall cliffs and roaring river, this beautiful gorge is one of the natural attractions of Fars Province. The Baragh Gorge in Eqlid has a lovely, full-flowing river that allows a wide variety of plants to grow along its banks, making the place a habitat for many different species. On its way to the Kor River, the river has cut through the mountain wall, creating a gap 40 meters wide and 100 meters high. On the mountain wall there is a beautiful cave of limestone origin. Drops of water fall from the cave ceiling to the floor like rain, and the damp environment of the cave has made its floor and walls a good place for moss to grow.

With its roaring rivers, rugged mountains, full waterfalls and flowing springs, the gorge creates a stunning landscape near the village. Dense clusters of trees can be seen in this deep valley. A full river flows through the gorge, and its waterfalls pour into pools at the foot of the cliffs. At times the walls of the gorge reach a height of 300 meters. The depth of these pools varies from place to place and is dangerous in some spots. So if you plan to swim in the pools, swim only in safe, shallow areas. Another point is that there are sharp, dangerous rocks under the water of the pools. So never dive into the water from high places, as you may hit sharp rocks hidden beneath the surface, which is dangerous.

Given the geographical location of Baragh Gorge, spring, summer and early autumn are the best times to visit the area. However, whenever you travel to this valley, you will see a spectacular view with a different feel each time. If you plan to visit this recreation spot in the first half of the year, be aware that during the Nowruz holidays, on weekends and during the summer school holidays, a relatively large number of people travel to the area. It is therefore best to plan ahead and book your travel dates and accommodation in advance.
