Kafarin Strait blends nature and history in western Iran
Shafaq News- Ilam
Towering rock formations, flowing
waters, and oak forests lend Kafarin Strait in western Iran’s Ilam province a
timeless charm, where the beauty of nature meets traces of an ancient past.
Located north of Badreh, the strait
stretches approximately two kilometers through mountainous terrain at an
elevation of about 700 meters above sea level. Water from mountain springs and
surrounding highlands, including the Kabir Kuh range, winds through the rocky
passage toward the Simareh River.
Ahmed Majed, a tourism and
archaeology enthusiast, told Shafaq News that the site is among Ilam’s
prominent tourist destinations, offering boat excursions and opportunities to
explore its natural surroundings.
Beyond its scenic appeal, the
surrounding area preserves traces of earlier civilizations, with archaeological
discoveries dating to prehistoric times and remains of structures from the
Sasanian period.
