Royan Forest Park

Royan Forest Park is located in Mazandaran Province, within Nur County and the town of Royan. The park was established by the Royan Municipality in 2004 (1383 SH) and, covering about 205 hectares, is considered one of the largest and most prominent forest recreation areas in the region. Its position in the upper highlands gives it a cooler climate and a broader outlook than many of the coastal parks of northern Iran, and this has made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in western Mazandaran.

Its main features are the diverse vegetation, including towering, ancient forest trees, extensive green space, and a relatively untouched natural landscape. The favourable climate, with mild temperatures, moderate humidity and a noticeable lack of biting insects, makes for a calm environment that is pleasant for long stays. Facilities such as guest suites, gazebos, restrooms, a prayer room, lit pathways, food kiosks and seating areas make the park a complete destination for family and group trips. In addition, the seasonal Ab-Pari Waterfall near the area is a complementary natural attraction that adds to its appeal.

Royan Forest Park is easily reached by the main roads leading to the town of Royan, and the route is well suited to private cars. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when nature is at its greenest and the weather is ideal for outdoor walks. When visiting the park, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including keeping the environment clean, using the facilities properly and respecting the natural surroundings.
