The most dreamy road in Iran; The enchanting path of Khalkhal to Islam in autumn

The Khalkhal-Islam road, which has been called “Iran’s most dreamy forest road”, is not only a communication route, but also a tourist destination in every sense. This route of about 70 kilometers starts from the heart of Khalkhal mountains in Ardabil and reaches the beautiful city of Islam in the winding forests of Gilan. In this way, nature takes on a new face every moment; From misty plains and green pastures to dense forests and deep valleys, all together paint a picture of four seasons in a few hours.

The cool mountain air, the smell of rain-stained soil and the soft mist that sometimes sits on the shoulders of the trees make a journey between fantasy and reality. The road is narrow and winding in parts, and this mystery distinguishes it from other northern routes. Along the way, small villages and wooden houses with gable roofs can be seen. Spring and summer are the time of blossoms and green freshness of the forest; But autumn turns the Khalkhal-Islam road into a painting of a thousand colors. Even winter, with the whiteness of the snow and the silence of the mountains, has a magical effect. (Legacy of Arya)
