Dalkhani Forest

Dalkhani Forest is located 30 km southeast of Ramsar, along the Ramsar–Tonekabon road. Covering 600,000 square metres, the forest lies in a mountainous area with a cool, pleasant climate. Even in summer the air inside the forest is cool, and in spring, autumn and winter, rain and occasional snow add to its beauty. The Dalkhani forest road is among the most beautiful forest roads in Iran, forming amazing green tunnels that attract travellers.

Dalkhani Forest is also famous for its natural attractions. The area has a beautiful lake, rivers, a "sea of clouds", and spectacular waterfalls at Jannat Rudbar and Garsemasar. At an elevation of 800 metres, the forest is well suited to those who enjoy hiking and walking in the heart of nature. Because it has little pollution, it also retains a natural, pristine look, offering a unique experience of nature.

A wide variety of plants and trees grow in this forest, such as chestnut, boxwood, beech and acacia, and animals such as jackals and bears live here. Markuh Castle, built in the 3rd century after the advent of Islam, is another historical attraction of Dalkhani Forest. Thanks to the 360-degree view of the sea and forest from its top, the castle is one of the most popular destinations for visitors.
