Estakhrsar Village

Estakhrsar is a beautiful village in Dodangeh District, Sari County, Mazandaran Province. It lies in the heights of the Bandaraj hills and is known as the "Roof of Dodangeh" because of its sweeping views and elevated position. The village is part of Farim Rural District and sits close to Talavak to the south, Damadkola to the north and Katarim to the west. With its mountain landscape, pleasant climate and peaceful setting, Estakhrsar is one of the lesser-known tourist destinations in the Dodangeh region.

The village's most important feature is its high position, which offers wide views of the surrounding countryside and of the beautiful sea-of-clouds phenomenon. On suitable days, vast clouds spread out beneath visitors' feet, creating a stunning view. The village originally grew up around a spring in the middle of the settlement, which supplied the water needed by its residents and even by the village of Talavak. The people of Estakhrsar work mainly in farming and animal husbandry, and their rice paddies are located in the Farim plain. Village life, unspoiled nature, the quiet of the surroundings and the hospitality of the locals are among the cultural attractions of the area.
