Rivas Plain

The Rivas Plain in Shahr-e Babak is the largest rhubarb (rivas) plain in Iran, located in Kerman Province. With its breathtaking landscapes and unspoiled nature, it is an ideal and spectacular destination for travel and recreation. In this vast plain, you can walk among masses of red rhubarb plants and enjoy the clean mountain air.

Please keep in mind that the rhubarb of Shahr-e Babak is among the most valuable plant species in Iran and, unfortunately, is at risk of extinction. Rhubarb is a mountain plant with tall, thick stalks that grows naturally and without irrigation (rain-fed). In spring the rhubarb shoots emerge from the soil, and they are ready for harvesting in late Farvardin and early Ordibehesht. Rhubarb is resistant to cold and is rich in vitamins essential to the body, such as vitamins A and C, as well as salts and minerals such as calcium and potassium, among others. If it is not harvested in time, it looks like a piece of dry wood.
