The town’s verdant landscape and natural attractions appeals to most urban tourists.
Inverted Tulips Plain
This plain is situated 12 km from Chelgard in the vicinity of Bano-Staki Village. It extends over 3,400 hectares and is filled with the magnificent flora of mainly red and yellow inverted tulips. The flower blossoms from April to May and brings hordes of visitors from far and near.

Kouhrang Waterfall
The waterfall has been created from the water released by Kouhrang’s first tunnel. The tunnel was built in 1954 to transfer the water of Kouhrang Spring and other adjacent springs to Zayanderoud River.
Efforts to transfer water from this region date back to a long time ago. During the reign of the Safavid Dynasty, efforts for creating a fissure in the mountain and transferring water failed.
Chelgard Ski Resort
This 800-meter-long ski resort is located near the town of Chelgard and on the slopes of Karkonan Mountain. The resort has been divided into two sections: one for men and another for women.
It is one of the most famous ski resorts in the Zagros mountain range. Adequate snowfall, suitable access road and favorable climatic conditions attract hundreds of skiing fans every year.
Many resorts have developed around mineral springs known as spa towns. Hence, Kouhrang can be referred to as a spa town.
Kouhrang Mineral Spring This spring originates from the slopes of Zardkouh Mountain and flow into Kouhrang Lake, subsequently joining Zayandehroud River through Kouhrang’s first tunnel. The beautiful scenery surrounding the spring and the nomadic tribes living in its vicinity enhance the region’s beauty. These and other features have increased Kouhrang’s potential as a tourist hub.
