Lala Village

Lala Village is located in Chahardangeh Rural District and District, Sari County, Mazandaran Province, and had a population of about 293 according to the 2016 census (1395 SH). The village lies about 70 kilometres southeast of the city of Sari. With its forested, mountainous surroundings, it is a good place to enjoy peace and quiet away from the bustle of the cities.

For nature lovers, Lala has several notable attractions, including the surrounding broadleaf forests, lush meadows, natural ponds (ab-bandans), and the Imamzadeh Saleh, a local cultural and religious site. The villagers mainly work in farming and animal husbandry, and the production of summer vegetables and beans has replaced some of the crops grown in the past. With its pleasant climate and scenery and limited tourism infrastructure, the area is a good choice for travellers looking for unspoiled, little-visited nature.

To reach Lala, first drive from Sari toward the Chahardangeh and Kiasar area, then continue to the village along a side road that passes through forests and mountain heights. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when the trails are less slippery and the weather is milder. While in the area, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature travel: take your rubbish with you, respect the quiet of the surroundings, avoid damaging vegetation, and coordinate with local residents when passing through orchards and pastures.
