    If you have planned to visit Shiraz, do not miss visiting the village of Ghalat. This village is located 36 kilometers far from Shiraz in north west of this city. It takes 42 minutes to go from Shiraz to this city. Having nice climate has turned this village a very beautiful and comfortable place for visitors who want to go on a trip. Even travelers and native people of this area choose this village for spending their weekend there. This place is mountainous and you will see several houses in stair type of structure. Tall trees have covered the view of these houses. The nature of this village is truly beautiful. The green lands, winding alleys and the sound of waterfalls shows how intact the village is. It will attract you to walk on foot around the village. As you are walking it feels as if you are the first person who discovered these alleys. Walking by every alley you will face vacant cities which are as old as the village itself. An old church, water mills and handcrafts like baskets, Melki(a kind of shoe), Mashk and wood crafts are all attractive concepts In Ghalat. You can also go hiking or mountain climbing on the green valleys of this marvelous village. You may as well visit traditional weddings and get acquainted with the old customs of the people of the area. This village is village named village of weed  in iran :) After walking in untouched sites of this region you can take some rest in traditional café and restaurants which are designed with woody decoration. You can try Iranian food or tea. In spring and summer you can sit on the roof of these cafes and look at the blue sky, mountains, and long trees while listening to music. It will give a fantastic moment. In winters everywhere is covered with snow. Its falls are as colorful as you can’t  imagine, you may never stop taking pictures from its beauty.

    Such a lovely place, the bast time to visit the place is in Autumn.... Spring is beautiful too.... If you do not mind the cold it has nice views in winter .... I like its summer for camping... the river and waterfalls would be almost dry during the summer and early Autumn.

    Qalat is a very beautiful tourist village. If you travel to Shiraz, be sure to visit here, I highly recommend it. Talk to the people there and test local drinks (Doogh and ...). enjoy the beautiful nature there also you can camping in summer. I suggest you visit here in the fall.

    Qalat is the name of a village placed about 30 km northwest of Shiraz and it's 2000 meters above sea level . The weather is quite temperate so the village has all four seasons in a beautiful manner . Qalat has always been in the spotlight for many tourists due to its geographical location that's why it has become so populated till now . The increase in the population led to the separation of this lovely village into 2 districts ; historical and relatively - new . Qalat has an accent of its own for example in Persian ( no problem translates into : moshkeli nist ) but Ghalati people tend to say moshkili ni .

    Without charm. A couple of buildings remembering south of France or Italian Toscana style but not in harmony. At the moment many other buildings in reconstruction clearly seems they will try to create some souvenir village for tourist. The "waterfall" are currently dried out. if you drive up behind the village the landscape is nice but not worth the hour drive from Shiraz.

    Ghalat (or Qalat) village is located 36 km northwest of Shiraz city. It has a cool climate even in the hottest months of the year. Today, join us to learn more about it. But before we start let’s find the answer to this question. Why should you visit Ghalat Village? It’s easy, because; 1. Qalat village has been nationally registered as the first historical-natural rural texture of Fars province. 2. Pleasant and spectacular nature. 3. There is easy access to suitable amenities. 4. This village has important historical monuments such as a church. 5. It is easily accessible and close to the city center.

    It is a nice village, but most of the stores were closed when we visited (it was a Friday) so there wasn't much of an atmosphere in the town. Plenty of locals having picnics by the river what was nice
