Fashtal Lake is located in Gilan Province, in Siahkal County, near the village of Fashtal. It is one of the most beautiful lakes in Iran and, thanks to its clear water and unspoiled nature, a popular destination for travellers. The lake lies in a mountainous area, so the climate is cool and mild throughout the year.

Fashtal Lake has diverse vegetation, and around the lake you can see a variety of trees, including oak, beech, hornbeam and birch. The area is also home to a range of medicinal and edible plants, such as borage, thyme and mint. Fashtal Lake is a habitat for many kinds of animals, including birds, mammals and reptiles. Some of the birds commonly found in the area are eagles, falcons, partridges, pheasants and ducks; some of the common mammals are wild boar, leopards, brown bears, wolves and foxes. The lake also holds several kinds of fish, including trout, carp and whitefish.

According to experienced travellers, the best time to visit this dreamlike spot is spring, during the spring rains, because in this season the lake holds the most water. Beside the lake there is a green area where you can camp overnight. Lights are set up all around the lake, which provide security at night. The lake is also close to the village, and there are villa-style houses around it, so there is no need to worry about safety. Just relax and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
