As a 4-season city, you can’t say which time of year is best for a Khorramabad vacation. Anyway, in my opinion, it has lovely autumns, when the whole sky goes white with cotton-shaped clouds, the streets are covered with yellow carpets of leaves, and it goes so romantic . If green is your favorite color, spring is the answer for you.
There are lovely green lands and jungles around Khorramabad! According to the fact that Khorramabad is placed in the Zagros mountains domain, you can expect cold-blooded snow-white winters around it; In summer also you can take a trip to Khorramabad and enjoy its moderate weather under a cool waterfall or alongside a river.

There are many rivers and fountains around Khorramabad. The most popular river in this city, which is also one of the best Khorramabad tourist attractions, is Khorram Rud. Khorram Rud is a big brilliant river in the center of Khorramabad city. This river is a combination of two other rivers. They meet each other under the Safavi bridge and shape Khorram Rud.

Put jungles on your list of things to do in Khorramabad. Not only the Khorramabad region but also the whole Lorestan province is covered with jungles. Nojian, Gerit, Taf, Razan, and many other jungles all around the province are so beautiful and amazing. Most of the jungles in this region are decorated with Oak trees, rivers, and fountains. There is also a jungle Park in Khorramabad, called Shur Abad. This jungle park is even more beautiful in winter.

Keeyow Lake is a beautiful light blue natural lake in the northern part of Khorramabad city. This Lake looks like a marvelous azure jewel in the green ring of Khorramabad if you watch it from a height or a helicopter.

If you like history, visiting Falak-ol-Aflak is one of the things to do in Khorramabad. This castle (also called Shapurkhast Fortress), was built in the age of the Sassanid kingdom. This castle has a fountain in the northern part, called Golestan. In the past, there were 12 towers in this castle, only 8 of which have survived. The inner side of the castle has 4 halls and a vast yard. This castle was repaired in the age of Qajar, by Fathali Shah. Since this castle is constructed on a hill beside Khorramabad, the castle towers and rooms windows give a good view of the city.

I’m a student at Lorestan university, and I think I’m gonna try some of these places out next year. BTW, I love Makhmalkooh, though I never stepped on it but only saw it in passing. I also visited Mosalasi Park a few times last year, and I found it to be a peaceful place. Especially, in the morning.
