Espili Village

Espili Village is located in Siahkal County, Gilan Province, at an altitude of about 2,200 metres above sea level, close to the Deylaman summer pastures. Espili's landscape combines farmland, dense forests and lush meadows, creating scenic, peaceful views that captivate every visitor and have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Gilan.

People have lived in Espili for about 150 years. At that time, the land in this area was endowed by "Agha Mirsadegh Lahijani" for housing the people. Settlers gradually migrated to the area and formed the village. Espili quickly prospered and became one of the important seats of local khans in the Siahkal and Deylaman region. The village's natural attractions include the Espili forests, numerous springs and green plains. With its mild mountain climate, the area shows nature at its best in spring and summer, especially in the Persian months of Khordad and Tir (late May to mid-July). In addition, weekly markets are held in the village on Mondays and Thursdays, offering a good chance to buy local and organic products.

The people of Espili speak Galeshi, a dialect common in the mountainous areas of Gilan, rooted in the ancient languages of northern Iran. With its unspoiled nature, clean air, authentic culture and the hospitality of its residents, Espili has a lot to offer both nature lovers and those interested in history and local culture. To reach Espili, drive from Siahkal County towards Deylaman, then continue along a mountain road to the village. The best time to visit Espili is spring and summer, when the landscape is at its most beautiful. In these seasons you can walk in the forest, photograph the natural scenery and experience village life.
