TEHRAN – Some five million visits to the wide array of attractions across Kermanshah province have been recorded so far this year, a local official brought to light.

“About five million visits to natural, historical, religious, cultural, and man-made places of interest within the province have been registered since the very first day of the current Persian year (started on March 20),” Dariush Farmani told ISNA. 

Natural marvels, such as Sarab-e Niloofar, Quri Qal’eh cave, and Parishan waterfall attracted the highest number of visitors, according to the official.

Farmani further elaborated that approximately 385 thousand visits to historical sites across the province have been also registered in four months.

“Taq-e Bostan emerged as the top historical attraction within the province, drawing 236 thousand visitors,” he highlighted. “Bisotun ranked second with over 110 thousand of explorers.”

Takyeh Moaven-ol-Molk, Anahita Temple, and Takyeh Beyglarbeygi were among the other most sought-after destinations across Kermanshah.

Kermanshah, situated in western Iran, is a region celebrated for its profound historical and cultural significance. Set against the backdrop of the Zagros Mountains, Kermanshah has been an important center of civilization since ancient times.

The province boasts remarkable archaeological treasures, including the monumental rock reliefs of Taq-e Bostan and the ancient inscriptions at Bisotun, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Beyond its historical allure, Kermanshah features breathtaking natural landscapes, such as the serene Sarab-e Niloofar spring, the dramatic Quri Qal’eh water cave, and the picturesque Parishan waterfall.

With its blend of historical marvels and natural wonders, Kermanshah offers a rich tapestry of experiences that continue to captivate visitors and highlight Iran’s diverse heritage.
