The Terraced Village in the Clouds

Seasonal festivals bring villagers together in music and dance, celebrating harvests, the arrival of spring, or religious observances. The local dialect, a variant of the Gilaki language, is still widely spoken, enriching the cultural fabric of the village. Songs and proverbs in this dialect echo through generations, embodying the wisdom of the past.

In recent decades, Masouleh has attracted increasing numbers of domestic and international travelers, drawn by its romantic misty landscapes and timeless charm. Guesthouses and tea houses welcome visitors with warmth, while hiking trails lead to waterfalls, mountain peaks, and pristine forests. However, with growing popularity comes the challenge of preservation.
