Abchalaki Village

Abchalaki Village lies in Divshal Rural District, in the Central District of Langarud County, Gilan Province. Set on the slopes of Mount Leyla, the village is known as the "Roof of Langarud" because of its high mountain location. From above, you can see the town of Langarud, the surrounding plain and even the sea, on misty or sunny days. According to the 2006 census (1385 in the Solar Hijri calendar) by the Statistical Centre of Iran, it had a population of 121 people in 35 households. This makes it a small, sparsely populated village with a traditional rural character.

Abchalaki's main attraction is its mountain scenery and wide views over mountains, forest and plain. With its tea plantations, orchards, streams and springs, the village offers a unique setting for travellers and nature lovers. The cool air and beautiful landscapes have made Abchalaki an excellent destination for relaxing, nature tourism and experiencing mountain village life. Mount Leyla, with its green heights and distinctive vegetation, offers visitors outstanding views over the village and its surroundings. In recent years, projects such as a sled ride, a cable car, a tourism complex and ecolodges have been under construction in the area to expand tourist facilities and improve local employment. Abchalaki is also known for its local products and souvenirs, such as tea, citrus fruit and handicrafts, which play an important role in the local economy.

Getting to Abchalaki from Langarud is easy: a paved road and a short drive lead to the village. The best time to visit is from spring to early summer, when the landscape is lush and the mountain air is cool. If you travel with respect for nature and follow environmental etiquette, a trip here will give you a lasting, positive experience of this "green roof."
