Daryan Village – A Village of Pomegranates and Judas Trees
Daryan Village is on the foot of Shaho Mountain, a piece of Zagros Mountains. The many springs and waterfalls found in the village make it one of the richest sources of water in the region and have given it the title of ‘the 1000-spring village’. The green fields, swollen springs, and crystalline waterfalls of this village have created a refreshing nature that touches your soul.
