Tang-e Tamoradi

Tamoradi Gorge lies 50 kilometres west of Yasuj, along the Sepidar road, and is considered one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province. The gorge has a spectacular waterfall and many natural pools, and together with its lush greenery and unrivalled scenery it attracts many travellers. The village of Tang-e Tamoradi, at an altitude of 1,400 metres above sea level, can be reached from Yasuj by a good road. Around every bend and rise in the gorge, a painting of nature unfolds, and its beauty amazes even the most demanding travellers.

In spring and summer the gorge has a mild, pleasant climate, while in winter it becomes cold and snowy. One of the area's historical features is a tomb near the entrance of Tang-e Tamoradi, next to the village of Hosseinabad, which dates from the Achaemenid era. The tomb is attributed to one of the Achaemenid commanders and testifies to the region's ancient history. Tang-e Tamoradi was also the site of one of the important battles of Iran's contemporary history, which doubles its historical significance.

One of the most attractive features of Tamoradi Gorge is its 50-metre waterfall, set in the heart of the area's unspoiled nature. The delightful sound of falling water and the surrounding landscape give visitors a rare sense of joy and peace. Along the route to this waterfall there are four other waterfalls, 8 to 10 metres high, and natural pools that add to the beauty and appeal of the area. The oak forest around the waterfall, the caves with water flowing through them and dripping from their ceilings all make this area a special destination for nature lovers. The Honey Oak Spring (Cheshmeh Balut-e Asali), near this waterfall, is another popular attraction in the area and forms beautiful natural pools downstream.
