Many parts of the region are yet to be fully discovered, but even with the limited excavations, there is still a lot to visit in the region. The Chogan Gorge is where all the mystery of the ancient city lies in. Thanks to the fertile lands and the Chogan river, the region has always been among the most suitable places for farming. Beautiful landscapes and eye-catching rock formations add a nice flavor to your visit to the Bishapur region.
