Al Valley

If you enjoy village tourism and exploring Iran's beautiful villages, be sure to visit the village of Al on your trip to Mashhad and the attractions of Kalat-e Naderi. The village has countless sights that will surely make for a very pleasant trip. After seeing the village's attractions, head to Al Valley and enjoy the charming scenery and the birdsong among the dense trees. Seasonal waterfalls that pour down from various corners of the valley double its beauty.

Thanks to its mountainous geography, the climate of Al Valley is cool, and its landscape looks greener and more pleasant in spring. Because of the heavy rainfall at this time of year, the springs and waterfalls carry more water and add to the valley's beauty, so spring is the best season to visit Al Valley. In summer, the coolness of the valley is pleasant and can make for an enjoyable time, though the water flow may be low in this season and the seasonal waterfalls may not be visible. Autumn is the season of colors, and Al Valley looks beautiful at this time of year; however, the cold weather may make your trip grueling. In winter, rain and snow are possible, and traveling in this season is not recommended.

If you are into caving and have sufficient knowledge of it, be sure to bring your equipment and visit the cave of Al Valley. The cave is historically valuable, and some cavers have found traces of the skeletons of early humans inside it. The cave's entrance is very large and imposing, and it lies deep in the rugged mountains. The cave is between one and three meters wide and about 100 meters deep. It is located at an altitude of about 1,500 meters above sea level, which has kept it almost untouched and pristine, and it has become a habitat for bats.
