SAEDNEWS: Mehrabkooh is the name of a mountain with interconnected soaring cliffs in Lorestan province, western Iran.
Nestled 54 kilometers from Nourabad, the capital of Delfan County, Mehrabkooh rises majestically to 2,400 meters above sea level. This natural masterpiece, a hidden jewel of Lorestan, remains largely unknown—even to locals—waiting to captivate adventurers and nature lovers alike.
The name Mehrabkooh, meaning “mountain of altars” in Persian, perfectly captures its unique shape. Resembling the constellation Gemini, the mountain is divided into two distinct halves: a small altar and a larger one, both cloaked in a rich tapestry of old fruit trees, including walnuts, sumac, hawthorn, plums, grapes, figs, apples, and wild pears.
Set amidst the sprawling Zagros Mountains, Lorestan boasts remarkable mountaineering potential. Mehrabkooh, with its serene nature and abundant waterfalls, promises a breathtaking escape for tourists seeking both adventure and tranquility in Iran’s pristine landscapes.
This untouched wonder is more than a mountain—it’s a journey into the heart of nature, a quiet sanctuary where every step reveals the artistry of the Zagros and the hidden beauty of Lorestan.
