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.
