Ezbaran Village

Ezbaran Village (also spelled Ezbarun) lies in Mazandaran Province, in the southern part of Fereydunkenar County. With a population of about 3,000, it is one of the area's important and green settlements, set amid varied natural surroundings that include Caspian forests, seasonal and permanent wetlands, and extensive farmland. Thanks to its geographic position and the mild Caspian climate, the village has a humid, green environment suited to wildlife for most of the year, and it showcases a harmonious coexistence of people and nature.

For nature tourism, and especially birdwatching, Ezbaran is one of the most valuable spots in northern Iran. In autumn and winter, its wetlands and surrounding habitats host migratory birds such as swans, wild geese, coots and even the Siberian white crane (known in Persian as Omid), which have made the area an important destination for wildlife enthusiasts. In addition, the active farmland and unspoiled natural landscapes offer a good opportunity to experience rural tourism, take nature photographs and learn about the local way of life.

Ezbaran Village is easily reached via Fereydunkenar County and its rural access roads. The best times to visit are autumn and winter for watching migratory birds, and spring for enjoying the lush green nature and mild weather of the area. It is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as keeping quiet in bird habitats, not damaging vegetation and avoiding sensitive wetland areas. With its biodiversity and natural scenery, the village is a good destination for travellers who love the calm, unspoiled nature of northern Iran.
