1 Days
Khorramabad Aligudarz
Day 1: Aligudarz
Our journey begins in Aligudarz, a region celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural heritage, notably the inverted tulip fields. These unique tulips, also known as the Zagrosian tulip or Maryam’s tear, hold a special place in local mythology, symbolizing the tears shed by Laleh at Siavash’s death, with their colorless sap reminiscent of those ancient tears.
We’ll explore the rural landscapes of Aligudarz, where the presence of stone lions atop tribal elders’ graves marks the resting places of those esteemed for their valor, generosity, and hospitality. These symbols of bravery and leadership add a profound cultural layer to our visit.
Our exploration will also take us to the Ab Sefid Waterfall, one of the region’s most stunning natural attractions. The lush vegetation that thrives around the waterfall during the spring and summer creates a captivating scene, drawing visitors from far and wide to marvel at its beauty.
