Kermanshah<\/strong> is a base for exploring western Iran\u2019s rock reliefs, archaeological sites and food traditions. Taq-e Bostan lies at the city\u2019s northeastern edge; Bisotun and Kangavar require separate trips into the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide separates city sights from excursions beyond Kermanshah. The principal heritage stops are the Sasanian carvings at Taq-e Bostan and the Achaemenid inscription at Bisotun; local pastries provide another way to explore the region\u2019s culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kermanshah Province is a mountainous region located between the Iranian plateau and the Mesopotamian plain. It’s dominated by mountains, peaks, and elevations of the Zagros Mountain Range. Parallel ranges of the Zagros Mountains span the province, interspersed with elevated mountain plains and key Zagros passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The province boasts a diverse climate with four distinct seasons. However, in general terms, it can be divided into two climate zones: the warm region (which includes the western parts of the province covering cities such as Qasr-e Shirin, Sarpol-e Zahab, Gilan-e Gharb, Soomar, Naft Shahr, and the southern part of Kermanshah city) and the cold region (covering the rest of the province).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
