Kolehsar Peak

Kolehsar Peak is a well-known mountain summit in the Central Alborz range. It lies in Mazandaran Province, in the area of Amol county and the Haraz region, and rises to about 2,015 metres above sea level. Among climbers and nature lovers, it is known for combining forest trails, scenic views of the Alborz and relatively easy access, and it offers a different kind of nature experience.

The climbing route usually begins at Shah Zeid Village and first follows forest footpaths, where the vegetation is rich in trees and mountain shrubs. Higher up, the vegetation consists of mountain pasture plants, shrublands and deciduous trees, adapted to the temperate climate of the Alborz heights. This creates good conditions for spotting small wildlife and birds. The trail becomes steeper as it gains altitude, and reaching the summit requires moderate physical fitness and basic mountaineering equipment.

To reach Kolehsar Peak, take the main roads of Mazandaran Province to the Haraz region and Shah Zeid Village, then continue along the marked footpaths to the foot and ridge of the peak. The best time to climb is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is suitable and the vegetation is at its fullest bloom. Responsible nature travel along the route means keeping the area clean, avoiding damage to trees and plants, and respecting the local environment, so that this pristine mountain route remains available for others to enjoy.
