Located 50 kilometers from the center of Muş, Bilek village has drawn nature lovers and photographers with its 110,000 pear trees in full bloom. Covered in white blossoms, the trees offer a breathtaking landscape that resembles sakura season and create a peaceful setting for outdoor activities.
Locals and officials see tourism potential in the village. Resident Şabettin Çiçek said, “We want this area to be used for tourism. We are expecting our visitors here.” Sedat Özcan, head of the Muş Genç Adımlar Association, noted plans for future events to highlight the area’s beauty.
Nature photographer Muzaffer Göç praised the scenery, while visitor Hatice Taşçı added a musical touch by playing her cello under the blooming trees. She described the harmony of green and white as “fascinating,” encouraging more people to experience the village’s spring transformation.
