Ramsar is one of the most beautiful cities in northern Iran, which owes its beauty to its geographical location. Due to its location between the sea and the forests of the north, the city has a different climate and spectacular nature.
All the charms of this city have made Ramsar become a tourist city and attract many travelers every month of the year. For this reason, the airport of this city is considered one of the active airports in the country, and besides the small population of the city, it has various flights during the week.

Well, now we want to talk to you about the second day of the trip. On the second day, we will go to Abroud salt. Abroud salt is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the north of the country, which is located in Mazandaran province and 12 km from Chalus. In addition to the green environment and very good weather of this region, the most important reason for its fame can be considered the Abroud salt cable car, which attracts many travelers. In addition, Banafsheh and Shamshad forest parks with an area of approximately 200 hectares and the forest range of Meduben mountain have created wonderful visual attractions that are worth seeing. The presence of facilities such as restaurants, restrooms, parking, shopping centers, etc., has also become a reason for tourists to choose this tourist area for their trip.
Lahijan is the second place to visit on the second day of the trip. The beautiful and spectacular city of Lahijan, with its ancient history, wonderful natural landscapes, and its proximity to one of the highest peaks in the country, is one of the most beautiful tourist areas in the north, which attracts many travelers at different times of the year, especially Nowruz days and summer days. Reads.
Lahijan, which is known as the bride of Gilan, the land of fragrant tea and the city of orange blossoms, is built on a flat and plain land that seems to be due to the sediments left by the rivers of Gilan. It is interesting to know that this city was conquered by “Uljaito” in the beginning of the 8th century AH and in the year 705 and became the seat of the “Qiaian” government. A place where the pleasure of traveling will remain in your heart and soul.
The third place that we have considered for you on the second day is the ecotourism residence. Have you ever stayed in a rural and pristine environment? Do you want to have an exciting trip to such rural houses? If you want to enjoy a new accommodation experience on your trip and try the taste of life in a traditional style, we suggest you to have a different stay in eco-tourism accommodations such as North eco-tourism accommodations. Ecotourism is a type of travel that has many fans among domestic and foreign tourists today. So that this word is now held in tourism not in a traditional way, but in a completely modern way, and it has had a significant impact in expanding and promoting the tourism industry.
third day:
On the third day of the trip, we will visit Anzali Free Zone. Anzali Free Zone is very wide and it will be very difficult to choose a suitable store or shopping center in it. Certainly, the second time you travel to Anzali port, you will have more information than the first time, but at least 10 trips are needed to be able to know this port completely and to know which shopping center and which store is more compatible with your needs. But as you know, with the help of other people’s experience, you will live as long as they live.
In Anzali port, as in other free trade zones, imports are easily done and traders do not need to pay taxes and duties. This applies to all goods, from clothes and cosmetics to cars and luxury goods. But the problem is that luxury and expensive vehicles such as cars are only allowed to travel in the free zone. It should also be noted that buying in bulk for sale in other cities is also not possible, and if these goods are seen for sale outside the free zone, they are considered contraband and subject to fines. So, what kind of people is the free zone suitable for?
First of all, the free zone is suitable for those who want to buy for a year or a few months for themselves and their family in one trip. In this way, all the family members travel to Anzali port and in addition to enjoying the spectacular views of Anzali lagoon, they visit the markets of this area and buy their needs from clothes to toiletries at a much lower price than in Tehran market.
Nilofarabi Lagoon is the last place for the third day of the trip that we have considered for you. Babol water lily pond is located in the eastern belt of Babol city in Mazandaran province. This wetland is one of the largest wetlands in the urban area of Mazandaran province, with an area of 34 hectares, which supplies agricultural water for 3 districts: Haider Kala, Haji Kala and Hamza Kala. Lotus Lagoon has created a very good place for tourism due to its favorable environmental location. You know that you had a lot of fun and felt the excitement with these three days of sightseeing.
Fourth day:
We will start the fourth day of the trip by visiting Talash. Now we want to go to one of the oldest cities of Gilan and have a tour in the attractive combination of mountains, sea and beautiful Talash plains.
Talash and its residents are among the oldest neighbors of the Caspian Sea and have always carried the color and smell of authenticity with them. In addition to the originality and antiquity, the unique nature of this region has turned the city into a complete set of God-given beauties by including mountains, forests and seas together.
The second tourist place for the fourth day of the trip is Gisom forest and sea. Gisom is one of the most beautiful and pristine 80-hectare forest in Islam, which is located 90 km from the Rasht-Astara Road and 15 km south of Talesh. The name in that area is called this name.
Gisum recreation area is not just a forest area; Because next to it, there is a pristine beach where you can sit and watch the sea and its beauty for hours. The existence of the forest and the sea together, each of which contains a world of beauty, makes the Gisum region one of the most attractive and main tourist destinations. The very high potential of this area was noticed by Talash Municipality about 15 years ago, and the investments made led to the formation of one of the extremely attractive forest and coastal recreation areas of the country. After passing through the Gisum forest, you can go to the beach of Gisum sea. Here, a combination of forest and sea has created a soul-pleasing view that fascinates every traveler. Next to this beautiful sea, which is framed by a strip of dense forest, you can record memorable moments by doing water sports such as paragliding, boating, jet skiing or swimming.
The third Mecca that we are considering is Visadar waterfall. Visadar waterfall is one of the best natural attractions and sights of Gilan province, which stands out with a unique appearance in the virgin forests of the north. These forests near Talash mountains with dense vegetation and beautiful nature have created a pleasant climate around the Visadar waterfall. Visadar waterfall is one of the most beautiful sights of Rezvanshahr in Gilan province. This waterfall is considered the third highest waterfall in Gilan and is located among the beautiful forests of Rezvan Shahr. The unique shape of the walls around Visadar waterfall has created beautiful scenery in the heart of the forest.
Visadar waterfall flows over high boulders and falls into the pool below. The height of the Visadar waterfall reaches 15 meters and the rocky wall of the waterfall is layered and stairs have been created in some parts of the walls due to erosion. The state of the stones around the waterfall have created a semi-circular space in the lower pool for swimming. The passage of light through the holes in the leaves of the trees and its reflection from the waterfall pool in the middle of the noise of water make a very pleasant combination. Due to the high density of trees, the forest around the Visadar waterfall has a pleasant air and is very suitable for walking.
Talash sled is the last sight-seeing place we visit on the fourth day of the trip. Gilan province is one of the most popular provinces of the country for travel. Talash is one of the small cities of Gilan that you must have visited, but maybe you didn’t know that this lovely city also has sledding, and you can have various plans for fun.

the fifth day:
We left you to see the dream road of Islam to Khalkhal in the fifth day of the trip. Islam is a part of Talash city with a population of about 10,000 people. The people of Talesh speak the Talesh and Turkish languages, and its products include carpets, pottery, animal products, wood, and paper. There are other tourist attractions around Talash, such as the Gisum forest and its recreational areas. Tourists traveling from Khalkhal to Islam will visit the beautiful Gisum road and its forest and beach with a short drive. It should be mentioned that parts of the film Hazrat Suleiman were made in the areas of Islam and were reminiscent of the city of Jerusalem.
Khalkhal city also has beautiful nature due to its proximity to Gilan province; Therefore, this region has cool weather in the summer season as well, and this is one of the reasons why tourists travel to Khalkhal in this season. Among the tourist attractions of Khalkhal, we can mention Azno promenade and Eller Baghi Park. In winter, some sports competitions are held in this area. Another recreational part of Khalkhal is Givi Spa, which is located near this city, and unlike many Iranian spas that are full of people, Givi Spa can be a relaxing place for your travels.

Do you have the experience of traveling to the heart of the forest and visiting a natural waterfall? Have you seen the waterfall up close? What do you think is the most attractive point of nature tourism in this style? Every type of travel has its own concerns. For some trips, you should take a stylish and luxurious luggage and go to the hotel. Others require a lot of luggage and the use of a private car. Sometimes you have to take your backpack and hiking equipment and hit the roads and forests.
To see the waterfall, you must take your backpack and nature tourism equipment with you. Suitable shoes for walking in the forest, clothes suitable for the season, travel food containers, flashlight, tent and sleeping bag are obligatory for those who intend to stay in the forest. Remember to bring waterproof ponchos or any other tools that will help you when it rains.
If it rains and you don’t have the right equipment, it is likely that the beautiful scenery of the trip will turn into a bad memory for you. So please be careful.
You can’t have a good time in the forest without proper clothes and shoes. Do not forget this. For example, the author of this article, i.e., myself, visited one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iran in the depths of a pristine forest, without proper equipment. Can you guess what the result of the trip was for him? Yes! The trip was not very pleasant. But don’t be like that and wear proper shoes and clothes
