Tilar Lake

Tilar Lake is located in Gilan Province, near the district of Hashpar (Talesh), along the road leading to Subatan. This small freshwater lake lies among the forested hills and beautiful farmland of the area. Thanks to its unique setting, it offers a calm and striking view, and is popular with travellers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Tilar Lake was formed by a landslide and natural processes in the area. Its water is supplied by springs in the surrounding mountains, and because of its particular geographic position, it enjoys a cool and pleasant climate. The vegetation around the lake includes dense forests of yew, hornbeam, alder and oak, which, together with rice paddies and local orchards such as kiwi and olive, create a lush and delightful landscape. Underground springs are the main source of Tilar's water, and the water is so clear that the reflections of the trees and the sky can easily be seen in it.

To reach Tilar Lake, you can head from the city of Talesh toward the Subatan road. The route to the lake is an unpaved mountain track, and travelling it requires a suitable vehicle (such as an SUV) and mountaineering equipment. The best time to visit Tilar Lake is spring and summer, when the surrounding nature is at its freshest. During this time, visitors can enjoy a few simple activities such as walking and photography around the lake. However, it is important to respect local property rights, as this natural feature sometimes lies within agricultural land and access is controlled.
