Rijabریجاب
Spend half a day in Rijab for scenery and a short walk; one full day only if you want to hike nearby peaks.
Rijab is a small mountain town of about 800 residents in Kermanshah province, known for water‑rich valleys and surrounding peaks such as Tash Khazi and Mullah Soura. It is reachable by road from the provincial centre and offers limited services, making it suitable for a brief stopover or a day hike.
