Shahran Village

Shahran Village is located in Gilan Province, in the Rahmatabad and Blukat District of Rudbar County, and is considered one of the lush, scenic villages of the region. The village lies about 45 kilometres from the city of Rasht, among neighbouring villages such as Estalkhjan, Bijarki and Halimehjan. Its location on the green northern slopes and close to forested areas gives Shahran a combination of mountain, forest and rural landscapes in one place.

With its extensive rice paddies, green pastures and diverse vegetation, Shahran Village has been shaped by farming and animal husbandry from the past to the present day. The village's traditional fabric consists of wooden and adobe (mud and straw) houses with gabled roofs, which blend perfectly with the surrounding nature and showcase an authentic example of Gilan's rural architecture. Its proximity to pristine forests, local rivers and natural scenery has made the area one of the popular nature-tourism destinations among Gilan's lesser-known villages.

Shahran Village can be reached via the Qazvin–Rasht road and then the side roads leading to the villages of the Rahmatabad area; the route continues from the town of Rudbar towards the rural areas. The best time to visit the village is spring and summer, when nature is at its greenest and the weather is more suitable for outings. Practising responsible nature tourism, such as keeping the environment clean, respecting the village's traditional character and avoiding damage to the rice paddies and vegetation, is essential for preserving the authenticity of this area.
