Nazi Lake

Nazi Lake is one of the most beautiful and, at the same time, most remote mountain ponds in Iran. It lies in the heart of the Zardkuh-e Bakhtiari range, in the Bazoft region of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. This small lake sits on the western side of the Cheri peaks, and thanks to its unique geographical position and difficult access, it remains pristine and untouched.

The clean air, the sound of water and birdsong, the calming silence of the mountains and the calm blue view of Nazi Lake make for an experience that stays with nature lovers forever. The lake is a symbol of the quiet coexistence of mountain, water, silence and life; a hidden treasure in the heart of Bakhtiari that many people still do not know about.

To reach Nazi Lake, the route begins in the town of Chelgerd. After passing through Kuhrang, a winding dirt road leads south to the Birgan area. From there, the route continues to the famous Shahriyari Bridge and then to the village of Do Ab-e Samsami. After that, you climb the 3,200-metre Cheri Pass, crossing deep valleys and oak forests, and arrive at Nazi Lake. The best time to visit Nazi Lake is early summer, when the weather is mild and nature is at its most beautiful. When visiting this area, it is recommended to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as collecting your litter, avoiding damage to vegetation and using designated trails.
