Zobleh Peak

Zobleh Peak is one of the natural and scenic peaks of Golestan Province, in the Gorgan area. It lies east of Ziarat village and southeast of the city of Gorgan. With its beautiful views, especially from the Ziarat village side, it is a popular tourism and mountaineering destination for nature lovers in the region. The peak's height is recorded in sources as about 2,546 meters. Because it overlooks the city and lies within the northern Alborz range, it offers a wide panorama of the forested natural landscape and the surrounding highlands.

With its gentle ridgeline and relatively well-defined ascent routes, Zobleh Peak is suitable for novice climbers and nature hikers. There are several ascent routes, including the route from Ziarat village, the one from Sar-Ali Abad Tuskestan, and smaller paths around the slopes, each offering its own views. On the northern and lower parts of the peak you can see the dense, natural forests of the northern Alborz highlands, which give the area a green, natural look and a rich variety of vegetation in the milder seasons of the year.

To reach Zobleh Peak from the city of Gorgan, head toward Ziarat village, which is about 10 kilometers from the city center, and then start the hike from the village or from side routes such as Sar-Ali Abad Tuskestan. The full ascent to the summit usually takes about 4 to 6 hours and requires a moderate level of fitness. The best time to visit the area is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is more favorable and the trails are clear of heavy snow. During your climb, it is recommended to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not leaving litter, respecting the vegetation and staying on marked trails to avoid damaging the environment.
