Chaparli
Chaparli ( چپرلی) is a grassland on a mountain range between Abbasabad and Oskolou villages. The area is the summer quarter of the Derilou branch of Mohammad Khanlu tribe, which in the wake of White Revolution included 40 households. The number significantly dropped over years and in late 1990s no family migrated to the summer quarter of Chaparli for the lack of experienced shepherds. The trend has somehow reversed in recent years, and about 20 families pitch their tents in the area, albeit mainly for escaping the unpleasantly hot climate of Derilou village. Chaparli is a prime location for observing, even experiencing, the idyllic life of Arasbaran nomadic tribes. Moreover, the topography provides an excellent sightseeing opportunity. In addition to green mountain ranges, many scenic villages of Kaleybar County and Khoda Afarin County are in full view. In Chaparli Arasbaran dogs receive due respect Orhan Pamuk in 2001 Turkish novel, My Name Is Red ''My Name Is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
