To reach Darreh Eshq (The valley of love), we must enter the Shahrekord road to Izeh, which is one of the most beautiful, the most versatile and the most dangerous roads in Iran. By entering this road and continuing the path, oak trees are seen in the central Zagros slopes. Having left behind these trees, our neighboring roads lead us to the mountains of the Thirty Valleys and one of the Karun Branches, and after crossing the bridge, the village of Jozestan and then the village of Puraz show themselves.

After that we have to go to the village of Dorak, which welcomes us with its pomegranate gardens. While there is no village around the pomegranate, it indicates the difference in temperature and climate along the route. Anywhere in this village, you can see only pomegranate trees, which is why it is called Dorak pomegranate.

Local myths also say that in a very long time, two people dwell on both sides of the valley, but because there is still no bridge and there is no way for communication, they both inevitably threw themselves into the valley to reach it. But they died.
