Iran travel guide and more about 9 top lakes of iran

This country is a beautiful and ancient country, which once had the largest empire in the world. And it is located in southwest Asia and the Middle East. It bounded on the north by the Republic of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea, on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the west by Turkey and Iraq, and on the south by the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. The Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are the most important regions.

?Iran is a country with an ancient civilization and rich history. This issue has caused many tourists and enthusiasts from all over the world. So, they travel to Iran to see the beauties of our beloved country. Meanwhile, many of our compatriots have not yet been able to visit the most famous domestic tourism destinations for various reasons. Many foreign tourists prefer Iran travel to expensive foreign trips because of the reasonable price.

Caspian Sea

What is the world's largest lake? Yeah, that’s the Caspian Sea in north of Iran. This large lake is bound by Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. The finest caviar of the world comes from the sturgeon living in the Caspian Sea. Many Iranian people visit north of Iran and the Caspian Sea beaches during Iranian holidays. This is one of the best destinations for nature lovers. Although some of the cities and sites along the Caspian Sea get so crowded during the holidays, there are still some unknown wonders along this largest lake in the world. Iran Destination, Iran travel agent, can arrange you an Iran tour including the Caspian Sea.

Lake Urmia

Many people from around the world have heard of Lake Urmia in the northwest of Iran. The sad fact is that Lake Urmia has been once the biggest lake in the Middle East. This lake has 102 islands and unfortunately has shrunken, but it is still attractive and astonishing. The interesting point about this lake is that the color changes to red at times. The main color of this salt lake in Urmia is blue; but due to algae and bacteria increase and also salt concentration increase, the color gets a red hue when the water level declines specially during hot seasons. There is another lake in Iran with the same characteristic, called Maharloo Lake, about which we will talk later below.

Gahar Lake

One of other natural wonders in Iran is Gahar Lake and the interesting point is that not all Iranians are aware of that and not all people visit this natural beauty. So contrary to the Caspian Sea which gets crowded time to time, Gahar Lake is a good quiet destination for those who like to get relaxed in pure nature. Gahar is located in Lorestan Province, and it is actually divided into two parts: upper and lower Gahar, which are only 100 meters apart from each other. This is called a jewel in Zagros Mountains, so you’d better not miss it if you travel to Iran. In case you are interested in any of the lakes of Iran, just contact Iran Destination, Iran travel agency, and ask us for an Iran tour. You’ll enjoy the most out of your trip.

Salt Lake

A couple of hours away from Tehran, you’ll be surprised by a lake in the middle of desert! The salt lake, or what is called Namak Lake in Persian, is located 62 kilometers east of Qom. Many professional photographers visit this place during days and nights to get unique shots. The surface area here is about 1800 square kilometers, but only 1 square kilometer is covered by water. So you may have a unique experience of walking on thick layers of white salt while trying to reach the water. Also during nights, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the sky full of stars.

Anzali Lake (lagoon)

Another natural attraction in north of Iran is Anzali pond located in Gilan province. Anzali lake is the biggest freshwater lake in Iran. This is one of the most romantic and fascinating places to visit in Iran, as it gets full of Caspian lotus flowers and also different kinds of birds flocking here and there. There are almost 78 different bird species in Anzali lagoon, attracting so many tourists to enjoy watching the flight of birds while riding on a boat.

Zrebar Lake (Zarivar Lake)

A lost paradise in western Iran, Zarivar Lake, is among attractive lakes of Iran, 1285 meters above the sea level. Zrebar is a Kurdish name (zer: sea , var or bar: lake in Kurdish). The interesting point is that no river supplies this lake, and the water is just provided by snow from the mountains around. There are lots of tree species around the lake, such as oaks, pears and almonds. Another attraction in this lake is the moving island in Zarivar, which many travelers and nature lovers try to visit during the year. In spring, ice covers the lake, but in other seasons of the year, it changes to a unique camping spot.

Maharloo Lake (Pink Lake)

You may have heard of the pink mosque in Shiraz. But in addition to the mosque, Shiraz has a pink lake as well! This is called Maharloo Lake by the locals and it is considered a salt lake, located 27 kms from Shiraz. What distinguishes Maharloo Lake from other lakes of Iran is its color. Similar to the Lake Urmia, the pink lake gets its reddish color from a special kind of algae and also because of high amount of potassium and other salts. You may have heard from those flying over Shiraz that a piece of pink land can be seen from the above; that is Maharloo Lake. But there are some other pink elements there as well: pink flamingos! So do not miss this beauty when you travel to Iran and specially Shiraz. Of course, you can see the pink color during the mid-summer, for the rest of the year, it has its normal color. Our Iran travel agency helps you discover any place you want. Just trust a local Iran travel agent.

Valasht Lake

Valasht is one of other northern lakes of Iran, a suitable place for Tehrani people to spend their holidays and escape from the city and find peace. This lake contains 2 million square meters of water in an area of 24 hectares. Many springs around this lake feed it. This is one of the popular places for those who want to fish, as there are many types of tout in Valasht Lake; so you can see some people camping there and staying overnight to both enjoy the scenery and fish. To reach this lake, you have to pass Chalous road, one of popular roads in Iran and then you need to go up and down the hills by your car to get his astonishing lake with pure blue color. Iran Destination, a travel agency in Iran, helps you find this place and enjoy the most out of your trip.

Ovan Lake

Here it is one of the other unknown natural beauties in Iran. Ovan Lake, or sometimes called Evan Lake, is a small, but attractive, alpine lake in Alamut region of Alborz Mountains. This is located near Qazvin city and receives its water from the heavy seasonal rainfalls in wet seasons and also from the ever gushing springs around it. The deepest part of Ovan Lake is about 8 meters and extends over 70000 square meters. You can have amazing experiences in this lake, such as swimming, fishing and riding a boat during summer and watching migratory birds like swan, goose and duck during fall. You can also enjoy winter sports like skiing and ice skating during winters on this lake. If you like to experience each of these, just do not hesitate to ask our Iran travel agency.
