Lorgi Abandan

Lorgi Abandan is located in Mazandaran Province, in Galugah County, near the village of Nosratabad. This abandan (a traditional man-made reservoir) lies in a lowland plain close to the southern shore of the Caspian Sea and is considered part of the valuable water and wetland areas of northern Iran. Its setting in a quiet, little-visited village gives it a pristine, natural atmosphere and has made it an important local site for the ecological balance of the region.

Besides its important role in storing and managing surface water, the abandan provides a suitable habitat for various native and migratory bird species. Throughout the year, and especially in autumn and winter, the presence of waterbirds gives this body of water a special charm. The abandan is surrounded by moist vegetation and farmland, and the combination of water, nature and the silence of the village creates a relaxing atmosphere for nature lovers.

Lorgi Abandan can be reached via the village of Nosratabad, and it is easily accessible by local vehicles or along rural roads. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the weather is milder and the birds and the surrounding greenery are at their best. When visiting, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not harming bird habitats, keeping the environment clean and avoiding disturbance to wildlife.
