Paveh, Howraman (Orumanat) Valley, Nowdeshah, Dalani pass, Kermanshah Province, Iran
Dalani pass: The road to the summit is called Route 15, linking Marivan and Paveh, via Howraman Valley. The road that runs through the beautiful valley, gives a good insight into the traditional Kurdish life in the small villages. Dress is traditional: men sport baggy shalwar trousers, plain shirts and heavy felt waistcoats and kolobal (brown-felt jackets with distinctive shoulder ‘horns’), while the women wear colorful dresses and headscarves. In Howraman the houses are built into the steep hillside, with the roof of one doubling as a porch area for the building behind it. Large blue or green latticed windows face out over the valley.
"A mountain mass, wild and defiant, Has gathered blue heaven in its embrace; The mantle of its peak is brilliant white snow, Dark with forest are its silent dales. Waters imprisoned in their tunnels Flow on, nor cease their windings round the hills; The roar and hiss of foam, the shrill song of the brook: Lullabies for grief in the solitude of night. The narrow footpath, feeling its way from tunnel to tunnel, Throws the wayfarer into anxiety without end; On the track rocky stairways, on the side great boulders, That heaven has not yet sent rolling down. Now up hill, now down hill, The bitter and sweet of the wayfarer’s world." A poem about Hawraman by Kurdish poet Goran
