Lambir Maleki Wetland

Lambir Maleki Wetland is located in the south of Kukherd Rural District, Kukherd District, Bastak County, in the west of Hormozgan Province. In the local dialect, "lambir" means wetland. The wetland lies in a hot, arid area and, despite the harsh climate, is a valuable habitat for a variety of plant and animal species. Two seasonal rivers, called "Darvah-e Sehchaki" and "Darvah-e Poshtkheh-Bapir", flow into the wetland and create extensive reed beds.

When water levels are high, the wetland reaches a maximum depth of 2 metres, and in times of drought the depth drops to 1 metre. There are pits in the centre of the wetland, and the deepest part never runs dry, even during drought. These features have made Lambir Maleki Wetland a unique ecosystem in the region. Its vegetation includes aquatic plants, extensive reed beds and shrubs along the water's edge, which provide a rich environment for birds and aquatic life.

To reach the wetland, head south from Kukherd Rural District. After about 10 kilometres on a dirt track, you will arrive at Lambir Maleki Wetland. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the wetland is full of water and migratory birds are present. During these seasons, Lambir Maleki Wetland becomes a popular destination for nature lovers and bird watchers. Besides its ecological importance, it is an attraction for nature-loving travellers who want to enjoy the region's unspoiled scenery and wildlife. Access routes and basic facilities are available for visitors, so that they can have a safe and enjoyable experience in this natural area.
