Matladasht Village

Matladasht Village is located in Choubar Rural District, Haviq District, Talesh County, Gilan Province, set amid mountain forests. According to the 2011 census (1390), the village had a population of 227 in 66 households, and the overland access route is mostly a mule track. With its stunning scenery, mild climate and abundant springs, the village is a delightful destination for nature lovers.

To the northwest, Matladasht connects to Ardabil Province and the beautiful summer pastures of Choubar, and to the south it reaches the large Choubar River, Qaradasht and the Valekuh area. This geographical position gives Matladasht fresh, unspoiled landscapes. The natural environment of Matladasht is covered with dense terraced Talesh forest and foothill pastures, where native trees of the Hyrcanian forests grow. Walking trails among ancient trees, springs and the surrounding rolling hills offer a peaceful, green setting for nature tourism.

One of the village's attractions is the Rishu Waterfall, which, together with its unspoiled surroundings, draws many visitors, especially in spring and summer. To reach Matladasht, take the route via Amol or Rudsar to Talesh and enter Haviq Rural District; from there a mule track continues towards Matladasht. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, because in winter heavy rainfall makes the route difficult and slippery. During your visit, please stay on the marked trail, take your litter with you, and respect nature and the local culture.
