Dīshmok

Dishmok lies in the Kohgiluyeh mountains of the southwestern Zagros, north of Dehdasht. The country is cut into steep ridges and narrow valleys, with oak woodland on the slopes and streams descending towards the lowlands. Villages occupy pockets of cultivable ground between the mountains. To the south, the historic city of Dehdasht served as a regional centre, its bazaar and caravanserai linking the mountain country with routes towards Khuzestan and the Persian Gulf.
