Iran is a mountainous country with several high mountains. Zagros mountain chain consists of continuous large and small mountains, extends in the western belt of Iran, and reaches up to central and southeast areas. In southern parts, however, it is interrupted in some areas. Among those mountains, Hezar is located in south Kerman province, in Rayen city's vicinity. This mountain has the fourth highest peak in Iran. It is an isolated mountain, surrounded by deserts thoroughly. These conditions host rich vegetation with numerous endemic species. The rich vegetation plus beautiful mountaineering routes has attracted many visitors, mountaineers, and researchers every year. Although this area is not a protected area, some areas, especially the eastern slopes (Rayen waterfall), are somewhat protected from environmental damages. The unique and rich vegetation with numerous endemic and medicinal plants reveals essential conservation programs of this area.
