Palangan

پلنگان ، پالنگان

The historical Palangan Village near Kamyaram city of the Kurdistan Province of Iran is a touristic attraction. Houses are built using stones on steep mountains on two sides of a valley. They are built on top of each other and the strange structure gives the feeling of an apartment where the terrace of the house above is actually the roof of its neighbor below, in that; resembling the beautiful Masouleh Village in Gilan.
The Tangivar River passes from the middle of the Palangan Village. Palangan means leopards in Persian; probably the name was attributed because of its scenic, still virgin wild life.
The Samanid era Palangan Castle is located near the Palangan Village.
