Determining the comfortable climate of each area plays a very important role in the development ‎and growth of tourism. In this study, according to the tourist acceptability of the area and the ‎variety of recreational activities, it is necessary to investigate the right time for the presence of ‎tourists as well as the development of tourism activities in this area. Accordingly, in the present ‎study, the comfort climate of tourism was examined using Baker and Terjung indices.

The results of the Baker index showed that in this region, 5 months of the year, ‎including January, February, March, November, and December, the environmental conditions for ‎recreational activities are mild and pleasant days with cool nights, as well as hot and tolerable days ‎with mild nights. And pleasant, suitable. According to the results obtained from Tarjung (day and ‎night comfort coefficient, wind effect coefficient during day and night), the best time for ‎sightseeing in this area is the months of November, December, February, and March for tourism in ‎this area.
