Tunceli is a remote, mountainous province in eastern Turkey, cradled by the Munzur and Mercan mountain ranges. Known historically as Dersim, it is a stronghold of Alevi culture and has one of Turkey's most dramatic landscapes, with rushing rivers, wild gorges, alpine meadows, and the pristine Munzur Valley National Park. It remains one of the least-visited provinces in Turkey, attracting adventurous travelers who seek unspoiled nature, white-water rafting, trekking, and authentic rural hospitality far from the tourist trail.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Tunceli's wild mountain honey (dağ balı) is among Turkey's finest — buy directly from producers at the Saturday market; vacuum-packed jars travel well
Tarhana çorbası in Tunceli uses a local herb-fermentation recipe different from western Turkey — don't leave without trying it
Ask for bal-kaymak (honey with clotted cream) at breakfast spots — the combination of local honey and fresh kaymak is exceptional
The Munzur River produces excellent rainbow trout (alabalık) — try it simply grilled at a riverside restaurant rather than in sauce
