Qolani Spring

Qolani Spring (also spelled Qalani) is one of the natural attractions of Kermanshah Province. It is located in Ravansar County, in Shahu District, near the village of Qalehgah. The spring lies in a pristine mountainous area, and the route to it is lined with beautiful natural scenery and tiered waterfalls. The cold, clean water of the spring, which flows out from among the rocks, gives the area a special charm, particularly on hot summer days, making it a great destination for lovers of nature tourism, walking and mountaineering.

The trail to Qolani Spring and Qolani Valley is about 10 kilometers long, and the round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours. The trail is rated difficult, so visiting it requires a suitable level of fitness, along with footwear and equipment appropriate for mountain trails. Along the way you can enjoy the area's pristine nature and its tiered waterfalls, and by the spring you can enjoy the coolness of the water and the natural surroundings. Visiting Qolani Spring is free of charge, and there are no restrooms or public transportation at the site.

To reach Qolani Spring, you need to get to the area around the village of Qalehgah and continue the rest of the way on foot. If you are travelling by car, you can leave your vehicle at the top of the mountain, or you can arrange with a family in Qalehgah village to leave it in their care; there is no official car park or parking attendant at the site. Because the trail is difficult and the area is mountainous, it is recommended to bring suitable footwear, drinking water and essential nature-travel equipment. The warm season, especially summer, can be a good time to hike this trail because of the spring's cold water. Visitors should take care not to damage nature and should not leave any litter behind during the trip.
