Tang-e Bovan

Tang-e Bovan is one of the most beautiful natural gorges in Fars Province. It lies about 20 kilometres from the city of Nurabad Mamasani, along the side road that links Nurabad to the main Shiraz–Ardakan route. Thanks to its lush greenery, abundant springs and numerous waterfalls, the area has become a popular destination for nature lovers and mountaineers. The cool climate here, especially in summer, makes it a pleasant place to relax and unwind.

The vegetation of Tang-e Bovan includes oak, wild almond and terebinth (Bane) trees, along with other native plants of the Zagros region. The area's wildlife is also diverse, including birds such as chukar partridge and see-see partridge, and mammals such as foxes, hares and wild boar. Several waterfalls, such as the Poolaki Waterfall, known as one of the highest waterfalls in Iran, add to the area's appeal.

The best time to visit Tang-e Bovan is spring and early summer, when the rivers are full, the valley is covered in wildflowers and the waterfalls are at their fullest. Tang-e Bovan can be reached via the road from Nurabad towards Ardakan; after about 20 kilometres and a short walk, you reach the main part of the gorge.
