The cities located in the west and southwest of Iran are among the desirable travel destinations in the summer, according to IRNA.
Tuyserkan, a city in the western province of Hamedan, is located in the south of Alvand Mountain, bordered by Moradbeyg Valley in the north, Asadabad in the northwest, Malayer in the east, Nahavand in the south, and Kangavar in the west.
Tuyserkan, the most famous feature of which is its numerous walnut trees, is the fourth largest city of the province, after Hamedan, Malayer and Nahavand.
What attracts a large number of visitors to this mountainous city is its mild climate that is mostly due to its numerous horticultural fields and beautiful bubbling springs.
However, according to local residents, cutting down the walnut trees and using their wood pose a serious threat to the city’s gardens.
Mausoleum of Mir Razieddin Artimani (1570-1627 CE), Kamarbasteh Tourist Park, with an area about 15,000 square meters, and Farasfaj Caravanserai are among the must-see natural and historical places of Tuyserkan.
The tomb of Razieddin Artimani, is located on a hill in Artiman village. The facade of the structure is of brick, and has three tall arches. Behind these arches there is an arched doorway with tile works. The structure is square in shape, with three chambers or rooms on each side. The mausoleum has four arched entrances.
Farasfaj Caravanserai, with an area of almost 4,000 square meters, is located at a distance of 23km southwest of Tuyserkan. The monument, dating back to the Safavid era, has an amazing architectural style.
Tuyserkan is located 472 kilometers from Tehran, and it takes 4.5 hours to reach it from the capital.
The name of Lorestan Province is associated with waterfalls, rivers, green mountains and many other amazing phenomena.
Gahar Lake, southeast of Dorud, is known as the “Gem of Oshtorankuh”. Due to the lack of a paved road, the lake is largely free from damage and pollution caused by humans. However, it draws over 70,000 tourists per year.
Thanks to the presence of tall trees and various types of bushes and beautiful flowers around Gahar Lake, this area is spectacular in the spring and summer.

It has numerous natural sites including Kartol Spring Well in Tudeh Zan village and Bisheh Dalan Wetland in Kapar Judaki village, as well as some popular historical sites such as an old bazaar dating back to the Qajar era, and the ancient house of Ayatollah Borujerdi.
