Kofi Gorge

Kofi Gorge is another of the natural attractions of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. It is about 2 kilometres long, with an average elevation of 2,040 metres above sea level. To the south of the gorge lies the village of Samsami, which belongs to Kuhrang County in Bazoft District. With high peaks on both sides in the Kuhrang mountains and the roaring Doab-e Samsami River flowing through the gorge, the area has a beautiful natural landscape.

The Doab-e Samsami River is one of the most abundant freshwater rivers in Kuhrang County, and its water is used for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. The river is also a refuge for many living things that depend on it directly or indirectly. However, changes in how the river is used, and the various demands placed on it, have had many negative effects on its water quality and, as a result, on the environment of the region.

One of these changes in land use is the construction of fish farming ponds, which has led to environmental changes. The area can be reached via the Chelgerd–Samsami road, which makes it easier to get to the natural scenery and attractions of the gorge and the river.
