Dohezar Forest

The Dohezar and Sehezar roads are among the best-known forest routes in northern Iran and one of the main attractions of Tonekabon. Starting in Tonekabon, these roads lead to the beautiful Dohezar and Sehezar forests in the highlands of Mazandaran. With their unrivalled scenery and natural diversity, the forests of this region attract many travellers every year. Lush trails, springs, waterfalls and flowing rivers have made these areas a popular destination for nature lovers.

Dohezar Forest connects to Mount Sialan, and for experienced mountaineers, climbing this peak is a major challenge. The route passes through the dense forests of Dohezar, and because of the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes, it requires a professional team and an experienced guide. In these forests you will find attractions such as the Mahivarzan Waterfall, trout farming pools and the Dohezar River, which, together with the outstanding natural scenery, make for a special experience for travellers.

The best time to visit the Dohezar and Sehezar forests is spring. At this time the forests are full of flowers and blossoms and the rivers are full of water. The spring water is also clear and drinkable. In this season, the forest and mountain villages along the roads are beautiful and spectacular, and their cool, pleasant weather, together with the lush green scenery, gives visitors an unforgettable experience.
