Baladeh village, in Chahardangeh District of Sari, is one of the most beautiful rural areas of Mazandaran Province. It has been designated as one of the model tourism areas in the province. Also known as Dosarshomar, the village is one of the most scenic villages near Sari and lies between Shahdezh Peak and the Chaharnow mountain range. Its geographic location, climate and cultural features attract many visitors. Baladeh sits at an altitude of 2,500 to 2,800 meters and has a largely mountain climate. As a result, the first snowfall usually arrives in the Chaharnow mountains in Aban (October–November), and the area stays cold and covered in snow until Khordad (May–June). In spring, however, this wintry beauty gives way to colorful flowers and lush green trees.

Based on the remains of a Gabri (Zoroastrian) cemetery, the original settlement built here may be nearly 2,000 years old. Exploring the village's natural attractions is a pleasant activity. Shahdezh Peak, north of Baladeh, is effectively the symbol of the village. The dense, green forests that extend up to an altitude of 2,500 meters on this peak are a good place for walking, picnics and even camping. Some ruins and mud-brick stones can also be seen on the peak; these are remains of an ancient fortress and dwellings. On the southwestern slope of Shahdezh Peak, which is northwest of Baladeh village, lies another of the area's attractions. Here, in a large valley, is a 12-meter waterfall called Bandgah. The waterfall carries more water in spring because the snow on the slopes of Shahdezh melts. The village also has the Sadva Reservoir, the Gharghchal Reservoir and dense forests, all well worth seeing.

The village's mountain climate and geography make spring and summer the best times to visit. Even so, the beauty and charm of the area's snow is a good reason in itself to travel to this village and the villages around it.
