Bahçesaray district experiences vibrant wildlife and lush nature
The Bahçesaray district in Van, Turkey, is experiencing a surge in natural vitality during the late summer months. Following heavy winter snowfall, the melting snow from surrounding high mountains has significantly raised water levels in local streams and rivers, such as the Müküs Stream.
This abundance of water has maintained the region's lush greenery and supported a diverse ecosystem. Observers, including Dr. Cihan Önen of the Anadolu Sualtı Araştırmaları ve Sporları Derneği (ASAD), have noted the presence of abundant wildlife, specifically highlighting numerous squirrels in the wooded areas.
In addition to its natural landscape, the district holds cultural significance as the site of the tomb of the respected poet and mystic Feqiyê Teyran. Despite its reputation as the ‘ninth planet’ due to difficult winter accessibility, the area has become a point of interest for nature enthusiasts seeking clear waterways and scenic landscapes.
