Kersam Village

Kersam is a village in Chahardangeh District, Sari County, Mazandaran Province, about 50 kilometres south of the city of Sari. It lies in Germab Rural District and is bordered by Sorkhvalik village to the north, Khalkhil to the south, Alir to the east, and the Hyrcanian forests to the west. The village's architecture and layout are traditional and in harmony with nature, and its mountainous, misty, forested setting offers a fitting place to step away from city life and find some peace.

The natural attractions around Kersam include broadleaf forests, natural springs, a waterfall and easy walking trails. For example, the Shukela Abbandan (a small reservoir pond) is located in the same area and is one of the popular nature-tourism routes in the region. Reports also say that, besides its beautiful scenery, the village has hospitable, cultured people who welcome visitors warmly. This combination of unspoiled nature and local experience makes Kersam very appealing to travellers looking for a quiet, lesser-known destination.

To reach Kersam, travel from Sari towards Chahardangeh District along the Sari–Kiasar road, then continue on to the village, which is roughly 50 kilometres away. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is milder and the routes are more accessible. While in the area, it is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: for example, collect your rubbish and carry it out, keep the forest quiet, avoid damaging the vegetation, and coordinate with local residents when passing through nearby pastures or orchards. Such behaviour helps preserve the beauty of this pristine region for future generations.
