Palangan is a village in Zhavehrud Rural District, in the Central District of Kamyaran County, Kordestan Province, Iran.
Palangan is one of the beautiful and amazing villages of Kurdistan province in Iran.
To reaching Palangan, you must drive from the Kamyaran ( a small city located 60 Km from Sanandaj and 55 Km from Kermanshah ) to about 40 Km. Palangan is located at the profound valley between the Zagros mountains belt. The village is composed of two separate parts on hillsides and beautiful Sirwan river is running between these two parts. The voice and effusiveness of Sirwan are intoxicating.
One of the characteristic things about Palangan is the design of the village. All of the houses in the same column participate as a pillar for each other. You can also visit the Sheik Omar garden by walking about 15 minutes from the village and enjoy creeks that emanate from the heart of mountains around you. The best season to visit Palangan is spring especially in May and the first half of June.
In Palangan the roof of one house serves as the courtyard of the upper house. Close to this village, we can see ruins of an ancient fort dating back to B.C.
