Berm Shur Lake

Berm Shur Lake lies in Mahur Milati District of Mamasani County, Fars Province, close to the village of Babamonir. Covering about 30 hectares, with depths of up to 20 metres, the lake sits in a dry, hilly landscape. Its water comes from surface runoff and the surrounding springs, and because it passes through layers of gypsum, it tastes salty and bitter.

Despite the salinity of its water, Berm Shur is home to several fish species, such as grass carp (amur) and bighead carp, which local cooperatives have released into it. The lake lies in a quiet, remote area, and although the access road is in good condition, it has not yet become a well-known tourist destination.

To reach Berm Shur Lake, you can take the road from Nurabad to Babamonir. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the surrounding countryside is at its most beautiful. When visiting the area, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not leaving any litter and keeping quiet so as not to frighten the birds or harm the environment.
