Saluk National Park is located in northern Khorasan, 20 kilometers northwest of Esfarayen and 30 kilometers southwest of Bojnurd. The national park covers an area of 17,000 hectares. The climate of this area is considered moderate and semi-arid. Two-thirds of the area is mountainous and one-third is a plain. The difference in altitude between the highest point in the mountainous area and the lowest point in the southern plain is around 1,510 meters, which is interesting in itself.
This difference in altitude and unevenness in various parts of the park has created a diverse ecosystem, which has turned it into a habitat for diverse plant and animal species. This area is a habitat for many birds and animals such as deer, goats, and sheep, as well as plant attractions such as wild pear and plum, barberry, blackthorn, wild almond, sumac, and wild roses.
Saluk National Park and Protected Area is relatively rich in water resources, and in addition to numerous springs in the area, some of the valleys have a steady flow throughout the year. Most of the water supply for these streams comes from the northern heights of the area, which enter the plain area in a southward direction flowing into the plain's floodplains.
