Kalpush Plain

The beautiful Kalpush Plain is covered with tall green trees, red poppies and sunflower fields. They begin to grow in spring and look their loveliest from Ordibehesht until late Khordad. Kalpush Plain is located in the city of Meyami, near Shahroud, in Semnan Province. The plain has sunflower fields, lush vegetation, rows of tall trees standing side by side, and poppies of a fiery red color.

The climate of this area is relatively cold in winter. In spring the cold gradually eases, and in Ordibehesht the plain becomes a paradise for travellers. The temperature difference between day and night on the plain is fairly large, so if you plan to camp there overnight, you should bring blankets and warm clothes. The area is usually rainy in autumn, winter and spring. Rain falls on the plain until late Ordibehesht, giving it a dreamlike atmosphere, so it is best to check the weather forecast before your trip. Near the forest the air also becomes a little humid. The Kalpush Poppy Plain Festival begins in late Ordibehesht, so be prepared for the temperatures in these days, which drop to a minimum of 13 degrees Celsius at night and reach 30 degrees Celsius during the day.
