A lost paradise in Fars Province
The southwestern province of Fars has many natural and historical sites which are popular and well worth a visit. There is a beautiful region in the land with a mesmerizing landscape near the city of Marvdasht, called Tang-e Bostanak.
Located 120 kilometers northwest of the provincial capital city of Shiraz, the region, also known as ‘The Lost Paradise,’ hosts a huge number of tourists throughout the year, especially in the spring, IRNA wrote.
The unique and natural beauties of this area have attracted the attention of many tourists and nature lovers. In addition, numerous mountaineering groups visit the area throughout the year.
Although Tang-e Bostanak has relatively warm weather, its flowing rivers, bubbling springs, green mountainous and dense forests have turned it into a heaven, which is why the region is called The Lost Paradise.
In fact, Tang-e Bostanak, located in the Kamfiruz district of Marvdasht, with the pleasant sound of its roaring waterfalls and rivers, gentle breeze, mountain scenery and beautiful plains is one of the most popular resorts of the province.
Extending in an area of 20,000 hectares, The Lost Paradise has an elevation between 1,700 and 3,700 meters above sea level.
An asphalt road leads you to this mesmerizing region, in which several barbecues, benches and tables have been installed.
Pleasant weather and sufficient water have led to the prosperity of the agricultural and horticultural sectors of the Lost Paradise, which supplies water to the village in the region.
The road leading to the region passes through green villages with beautiful garden alleys and oak forests.
Many types of birds of prey as well as brown bears, otters, squirrel, foxes, sheep, rams, wild goats and rabbits live in this area.
Tang-e Boraq canyon, 45km from Tang-e Bostanak, is among the other attractions of the area, having several waterfalls and rivers as well as an historical stone inscription.
Although the area can be chosen as an ideal travel destination in all seasons, April, when its rivers are full of water and its gardens are covered by blossoms, is the best time.
Moreover, the beauty of Tang-e Bostanak forests multiplies in the fall, because wherever you look, you can see a combination of yellow, orange and red colors.
Marvdasht is as ancient as the history of Iran and the Persian Empire. Its former capital, Persepolis, is in the vicinity of the city, and few kilometers farther, Naqsh-e-Rostam, Naqsh-e Rajab and the ruins of the ancient city of Estakhr are reminiscent of the region’s importance in ancient times.
