Kurdshop - Chalian Lake in the Farashin Mountain, amazes visitors with its beauty.

Farashin Mountain on Mount Kato, located between the Elkey district of Shirnakh and the Payzawa district of Van, is never without tourists and visitors in summer due to its unique nature. Nomads, shepherds, and many people in the Botan region collect many kinds of plants, including Siabo, in these mountains. Farashin Mountain is very quiet and peaceful. Due to the snowfall, the area is always cold and this is the reason for the development of beekeeping and livestock. Because of the coolness, people escape the heat and go to the Farashin Mountain, especially Chalian Lake.

Chalian Lake, whose source is snow and groundwater, is a good place for tourists in summer and attracts the attention of nature lovers and tourists.

Chalian Lake, located in the Elk area of Shirnakh in the North part of Kurdistan, is located in the Farashin Plateau at an altitude of 2625 meters above sea level.

The lake is covered with ice in winter, melts at the beginning of spring, and is covered with colorful flowers instead of ice and snow in summer.

With the onset of summer, grazing and beekeeping begin in the plain, creating a unique scenery for tourists and nature lovers. Located on the foothill of the mountain, Chalian Lake has a different impression on its visitors.

This beautiful plain, located 5 kilometers from Elk district, is one of the most beautiful places for everyone to walk, enjoy the fresh air, and sit or take pictures near Chalian Lake.
