IRBIL, May 22 (KUNA) -- Iraq's Kurdistan Region high mountains draw a large number of male and female climbers and nature aficionados, the bulk of whom come from nearby predominantly-Kurdish regions and other Iraqi areas.
The Kurdistan region is well known for natural attractions, namely lush and green mountainous panorama. Athletes, tourists and adventurers, clad in suitable suits, come to the region for taking photos via alleys marked with safety instructions.
Some mountain ranges peak as high as thousands of meters above sea level with summits engulfed in snow much of the year time.
There are some 200 hiking teams grouped in a local union, established in 2006. (end) sbr.rk
