Lake Gahar
Lake Gahar is located in the western region of Iran at 2,400 meters above sea level and has a length of slightly more than one kilometer and a depth of about 30 meters. Eels, turtlebacks, frogs, and rainbow trout live in the lake's crystal-clear waters, while goats, sheep, deer, and leopards roam the surrounding landscape. Gahar is a famous beach destination, and the ideal months to visit are July and August, when the highland lake is blooming with colorful anemones and lovely tulips.
The lake, dubbed "the pearl of Oshtorankouh" by locals, is a reward for those who are ready to suffer a five-hour climb up the mountain, as there is no other way to reach there. The gorgeous path and distinctive panoramas, on the other hand, make the walk a lot more delightful than it sounds.
Given the lake's location within the Oshtorankouh Protected Area, a stringent no-hunting and no-fishing restriction have greatly assisted in the preservation of the natural scenery. The lake is developed in a valley called Gaharoud in the mountains' southwest. The journey must begin in Aligoudarz County, Lorestan Province. Because most people spend the night in the vicinity of Lake Gahar, visitors should bring camping gear.
