Khondāb

Khondab lies in the agricultural country between Hamadan and the central Iranian plateau. Its plain belongs to the wider basin of the Qareh Chay, whose watercourses gather the runoff of the surrounding highlands. Villages and fields occupy the valleys between ridges, with routes leading west towards Hamadan and east towards the interior. The neighbouring Darjazin country was known to medieval geographers as a district of settlements and cultivated land on the approaches to Hamadan.
