Bojdam Village

Bojdam (also written Bezhdam) is one of the small, scenic villages of Germab Rural District, in Chahardangeh District of Sari County, Mazandaran Province. The village lies about 35 km southeast of the city of Sari, at an elevation of about 860 m above sea level. Set on the middle slopes of the eastern Alborz range and surrounded by the precious Hyrcanian forests, Bojdam is one of the lesser-known nature tourism destinations in the Chahardangeh region, thanks to its unspoiled nature, pleasant climate and forest landscapes. Because the village also lies on the access route to Chort Lake, many travellers on their way to this natural attraction also take the chance to see the beauty of Bojdam.

Despite its small population, Bojdam has preserved its rural character, and life here still rests on animal husbandry and the production of dairy products. The villagers speak Tabari (Mazandarani) in the Sari dialect, and their way of life is closely tied to the surrounding nature. The village lands are enclosed by Hyrcanian forests on all sides, and the villages of Vernam, Vanajam, Ghadikola and Kharkhun lie around it. The pleasant silence, clean air, varied vegetation and calm atmosphere of the area make Bojdam a good destination for nature lovers, photographers and anyone who enjoys exploring unspoiled places.

To reach Bojdam, take the Sari–Kiasar road from the city of Sari, pass through the Chahardangeh District and continue towards Germab Rural District. This mountain road, with its beautiful forest views, is part of the appeal of a trip to the area. The best time to visit Bojdam is spring, summer and early autumn, when the surrounding nature is at its greenest and most beautiful. While visiting, you can help protect this valuable environment and support responsible tourism by not leaving litter, not damaging the vegetation, not lighting fires in unauthorised places, and respecting the culture and calm of village life.
