Paveh is one of the northern cities in Kermanshah province, located near the Iran-Iraq border. Because of the stepped structure, the Paveh is known as the great Masouleh. It is a phenomenally hospitable place with a fine setting, high up a fold of mountainside valley.

Views of Paveh’s most characteristic stepped area are best from the Ferris wheel in Kazemi Park. It is located in the west of Iran and is 112 km far from Kermanshah and lies in a sub-region along the Iran-Iraq border commonly referred to as Hewraman. The city is considered by inhabitants of the region as the capital of the Hewraman. The inhabitants of Paveh are mostly Kurds that speak Auramani.

As a mountainous town, Paveh has cold winters and cool springs. The surrounding mountains are normally filled with fresh spring water from March to June. The town is also encircled with large fruit gardens which create beautiful scenery during summers.
