Yāsūkand

Yasukand lies northeast of Bijar in the highland district of Garrus. A river flows beside the settlement, and gardens occupy the surrounding valley. Local accounts remember an older fortified settlement called Karrani and a mound known as Qaleh Tepe above its watercourse. The wider country is mountainous, with hard winters; grain fields and sheep pastures share the valleys with villages and their orchards.
