Overview

Kandovan Rocky Village Tour

In the central district of Osku county, 50 km far from Tabriz, the marvelous Kandovan village is located. The village represents 700 years of civilization which starts from the Zoroastrians.

This ancient rocky village is actually formed by the volcanic remains from huge eruptions of Sahand mountain. It is among the three rocky villages in the world and what distinguishes Kandovan is the fact that it still has inhabitants. The name Kandovan comes from the plural form of Persian, Kando, which means the bee’s hive(Tabriz tour).

An amazing fact about the houses or Karan, as locals call it, is their stability. The first inhabitants of these houses were the ancient tribes, but these houses were passed generation to generation and it is still standing just like a mountain. One of the most interesting things about this village is that the houses are cool in summer and warm in winter.

The locals sell souvenirs such as honey, herbals and handmade Kilims. Walk up among the rocky village and its cave like houses, enjoy the cold breeze touching your skin and look around the beauties around you. Since the Kandovan itself offers a scenic beauty to the visitors, you won’t regret coming to this must-see village.

Finally, a peaceful place

After spending almost 14 days in Iran, I was really looking for a place to chill with my wife. The rocky village- Kandovan was just what I needed. The tour consisted of just us and our guide. We saw no other people until we went back. An absolute highlight of our trip.

Two of us took the tour with Moji. All went extremely well, just like photos on a website. Moji was a great guide and would do it again. Having a guide is the way to go. Stress-free trip and so fun. Stefano & Eddie 3/21/19
