Gisoom; where dense forest meets beautiful Caspian Sea
Gisoom is a captivating forest characterized by tall, dense trees that stretch along the expansive Caspian Sea, creating one of the most beautiful and serene spots near the coast. Located just 18 kilometers from the Anzali-Talesh road, this area welcomes visitors into a lush, green corridor formed by intertwined towering trees. The trees here seem to embrace each other, forming a leafy tunnel where only narrow rays of sunlight penetrate through the dense canopy, illuminating the forest floor.
This place feels like a slice of paradise — the mingling scents of the trees and humid earth create an enchanting atmosphere. Venturing deeper into the forest allows you to immerse yourself in the pristine nature of Gisoom, touching the spirit of the trees and listening to the melodies of singing birds. If you’re fortunate, you might even hear the footsteps of horses, encountering a group of beautiful horses that seem to embody the heart of nature itself, visitiran.ir wrote.
Gisoom is one of Iran’s few coastal jungles where forest and sea converge, offering one of the most stunning Caspian Sea coastlines. To reach this region, simply follow the Anzali-Astara Road. The destination is located just beyond Rezvanshahr, before Asalem — one of the villages near Parre Shahr. The landscape features fine sands, colorful shells, and playful blue waves, making it a truly breathtaking scene.
The area offers numerous recreational and accommodation options. After passing through the dense jungle, you’ll arrive in the rural region of Gisoom, situated along the coast. Here, you can rent villas or suits, or try camping — though it requires skill and proper equipment. Facilities such as restaurants, shops, and buffets are available, and water sports like swimming and jet skiing are popular activities.
Close to Gisoom are attractions like Qal’eh Rud Khan and Visadar Waterfall, which you might consider adding to your itinerary. Rich in plant and animal diversity, Gisoom remains one of Iran’s most pristine regions in the north. Like other northern areas of Iran, Gisoom Forest is beautiful year-round, but its splendors are especially heightened during spring and early autumn.
