Unlike ordinary lakes, Gahar Lake was born from a massive landslide that blocked a valley, forming a natural dam that trapped flowing waters.
Nestled between Dorud, Aligoudarz, and Azna, this turquoise gem of the Zagros has become a magnet for Iranian nature lovers. With its stunning scenery and unique geological history, Gahar offers a rare escape into pristine natural beauty—a destination that feels almost untouched by time.
