2 Days
Day 1: Ravansar's Cultural Tapestry and Natural Marvels
Our journey begins at Imam Hossein Square in Kermanshah, taking the route towards Ravansar and passing the Qazanchi T-way. Approximately 15 kilometers along, a detour introduces us to the tomb of Uwais al-Qarni, set against a panoramic view of the plains, a site revered for pilgrimage and popular among paragliding enthusiasts.
Continuing on, we encounter the refreshing sight of Sarab Yavari and traverse the village of Kani Sharif, renowned for its traditional ice cream. Our entrance into Ravansar is marked by the town’s vibrant bazaar and handicrafts, highlighting the cultural richness of the area.
For dining, the Mohammadi restaurant at the city’s entrance or the Shabankare grills, located 15 km from Ravansar, offers a taste of local cuisine. Our exploration extends to the Ghori Qaleh cave, 20 kilometers from Ravansar towards Paveh, one of Asia’s longest water caves, with geological formations dating back 65 million years. An hour’s visit here unveils the cave’s natural splendor.
Our return to Ravansar leads us towards Javanrud, where the local border bazaar presents an opportunity to shop for audio equipment, home goods, cosmetics, and hygiene products at reasonable prices.
