Sehsar Twin Lakes

The Sehsar Twin Lakes are in fact two natural pools in the village of Sehsar in Gilan Province, near the town of Fuman. The pools lie on the slopes of the Talesh Mountains and, thanks to their natural beauty and clear water, have become one of the tourist attractions of the area. The village of Sehsar itself also has many natural and historical attractions, including lush rice paddies, rushing rivers, dense forests and the remains of old castles.

The Sehsar Twin Lakes are set among the dense forests of northern Iran. The vegetation of the area consists mainly of deciduous trees such as oak, beech, Persian maple (mamrez) and alder. Beneath the trees there are many shrubs, ferns and wildflowers. The Sehsar Twin Lakes are home to a wide variety of animals. Some of the animals you may find in the area are wild boar, fox, wolf, brown bear, eagle, falcon, owl, pigeon, trout and carp.

The best time to visit the Sehsar Twin Lakes depends on your preferences. In general, however, spring and summer, from late Farvardin to late Shahrivar (mid-April to mid-September), are the most popular times to visit. In these seasons the weather is warm and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities. At present the Sehsar Twin Lakes have no particular facilities. It is a natural, untouched area, and visitors should be prepared for a camping and hiking trip.
