Lashem Plain

Lashem Plain (Dasht-e Lashem) lies in the mountainous part of Tonekabon County, in Mazandaran Province. This beautiful plain sits in the highlands of the Sehezar region and is known as one of the most popular destinations for nature lovers and mountaineers. The plain is reached via the village of Khanian. After a hike of about two to three hours through dense forests and stunning natural scenery, visitors arrive at this vast, green plain. The pleasant, cool mountain air, together with the soothing silence of nature, creates a relaxing and refreshing atmosphere for nature and photography enthusiasts.

The vegetation of Lashem Plain is rich and highly varied, including oak and beech trees and many kinds of pasture plants. In spring, colorful blossoms and wildflowers make the plain twice as beautiful. In Ordibehesht and Khordad (roughly late April to mid-June), the area is at the peak of its bloom and vitality, with flowers of every color visible across the plain. Freshwater springs and small streams around the plain also provide water for plants and wildlife, add to the scenery and create a delightful, pleasant setting.

As one of the well-known summer pastures (yeylaq) of the Sehezar region, Lashem Plain offers travellers a unique opportunity for camping, photography and relaxing in the heart of nature. Its distance from the bustle of the cities and the calming silence of the setting make this plain an ideal place to escape the daily routine and recharge. The best time to visit Lashem Plain is spring, especially Ordibehesht and Khordad, when the weather is mild and wildflowers shine beautifully across the plain. With proper planning, nature and mountaineering enthusiasts can enjoy a memorable and peaceful trip in this region.
