Divarash Blue Cave

Divarash Cave is one of the tourist destinations and attractions of Gilan Province. It lies in a village of the same name in Rudbar County. Divarash is 7 kilometres from Tutkabon. To reach the village, you can start your journey from either Tutkabon or Rudbar.

The mysterious Divarash Cave lies at the end of the Nurcheshmeh Forest, which surrounds the village of Divarash. The forest is home to alder, oak, plane, maple and beech trees, as well as wild forest fruits such as wild pear, cherry plum, medlar and persimmon, which together create an unforgettable landscape for travellers. Its wildlife includes bears, wild boars, foxes, porcupines and wolves, which add to the distinctive character of the area's fauna. At the end of the forest trail, after a difficult, rocky route, you reach Divarash Cave, which you must descend into the earth to see. It is considered one of the most beautiful blue caves in Iran, with very cold, still water inside. The water is very deep in many parts, so visitors have to swim to move forward. Next to the cave there is a hollow where bats live; their sounds, together with the silence of the cave, create a thrilling and unique atmosphere. Once you arrive, you can either enjoy the beautiful nature and tranquillity outside the cave, or enter it with full equipment and explore its interior.
