Gajereh Lake

Gajereh Lake is one of the most beautiful and pristine natural attractions in Tehran Province. It lies in the heart of the Central Alborz mountain range, close to the Dizin Ski Resort. The lake is fed by snowmelt from the surrounding peaks and offers a tranquil view of clear, transparent blue water. The route to Gajereh Lake follows the Chalus Road and continues toward Dizin, passing through plains, pastures and mountain forests, making for an unforgettable experience for nature lovers.

The area around Gajereh Lake is covered with mountain meadows and plants native to the Alborz region, such as astragalus (gavan), wild thyme, wildflowers and cold-resistant shrubs. The area is also home to birds such as the chukar partridge and the golden eagle, and to mammals such as foxes, hares and wild goats (ibex), which can be spotted on the surrounding heights. Gajereh Lake is an excellent setting for those who enjoy nature tourism, photography, camping and mountaineering. The peaceful atmosphere, the distance from the bustle of the city, and the cool, clean mountain air have made this area a popular destination among domestic and international travellers.

The best season to visit Gajereh Lake is from spring to early summer, when the surrounding meadows are green and the weather in the area is mild and pleasant. Because of its proximity to the Dizin Ski Resort, some amenities are available near Gajereh Lake, including eco-lodges, mountain hotels, traditional restaurants and local shops. In the warmer months, visitors can also make use of suitable camping areas, temporary restroom facilities, and places to sit and rest along the trail. Easy access to the Chalus Road and the proximity of tourist centres such as Dizin and Shemshak make it possible to take a one-day or multi-day leisure trip with relatively complete facilities.
