Lorestan
Lorestan is green and steep, which surprises people who expect Iran to be desert. Khorramabad sits in a valley lined with caves where people lived in the Palaeolithic.
Our articles cover those caves, Kalmakareh Cave, where a hoard of ancient silver was found, and Gahar Lake, which you reach on foot through the Oshtorankuh mountains. Read our Lorestan travel guide before you go.
