Lake Zarivar is located in the western Zagros Mountain Range and within walking distance from dense oak forests.
The ancient city of Marivan in Kurdestan Province treats tourists to Lake Zarivar , affectionately called “Kurdestan’s Lost Paradise” by the locals.
Lake Zarivar is located in the western Zagros Mountain Range and within walking distance from dense oak forests.
Although that may be a misnomer—the lake’s popularity contradicts its status as a “lost” paradise—the fact remains that Zarivar is undoubtedly one of Iran’s most beautiful bodies of water in a picturesque region.
The lake has no tributaries and is not fed by springs in the lakebed; melted snow from the surrounding mountains ensures Zarivar is constantly brimming with water.
Riding boats in the summer and ice skating during winter are among the most popular activities the lake has to offer.
