Just beside the temple you can see the palace of Bushahar Kings.

The road to Sarahan is lined with pine trees. Swift flowing mountain streams flow past the road.
The fields and orchards in the vicinity of small villages with slate roofed houses impart a fairytale atmosphere to the ethereal surroundings.
