Shirvan Valley Wildlife Habitat (Darreh Si)

The Shirvan Valley tourist area, stretching 22 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in width, is one of the most important wildlife habitats in the region. This area connects to Shabil Hot Springs in the south and to Lahroud in the north. It features deep vertical valleys, pyramid-shaped rocks, statues, carvings, and natural cliffs in various shapes and colors, as well as beautiful waterfalls formed by the eruption of Mount Sabalan. The Jeyran Goli and At Goli wetlands adjacent to it are among the unique beauties of Shirvan Valley.

The most fascinating and strange feature of this valley, which covers an area of about 75 square kilometers, is the rock formations and cliffs that resemble human figures, making it hard to believe they were created by nature. Each of these formations has its own name and legend, such as the Chimney of the Jinn and the Throne of the Devil, which have been passed down through generations over thousands of years. The rock formations of Shirvan Valley are similar in shape and structure to those on Madagascar Island in Africa and the famous Cappadocia in Turkey, which many of you may have visited.
