Explore Kandovan Rocky Village - One Day Tour

Kandovan is one of the most amazing rock villages in Iran and the world and one of the sights of East Azarbaijan province, which is located in the heart of Kaleh Qandi rocks and is also known as Kaleh Qandi village. This historical summer village is located at the foot of the slopes of the Sahand volcanic mountain and next to the Kandovan river. The mountainous nature of the region has created streams on the surface of the sloping areas that move towards the valley and form the primary branches of this river. There are beautiful green pastures around this village that attract many nomads. The entire east of the valley is also covered with mountain willow, walnut, elm and almond trees.

The distinctive feature of Kandovan is its rock architecture and village houses, which were created by digging the stones known as Karan. These rocks were created as a result of the volcanic interactions of Sahand Mountains. Volcanic molten masses and lava have been formed by wind, snow and rain over many thousands of years and have been formed into the form of a border, and such an amazing sight has been created in one of the most pleasant parts of Iran.
