Lake Valasht

Lake Valasht is one of the most beautiful lakes to visit in Iran. It is situated to the southwest of Chalus and to the northeast of Kelardasht. It is one of ten Iranian freshwater lakes that house many migrating birds, fish, and other aquatic species throughout the year. It is far from peaceful, owing in great part to its peculiar location.

Valasht has a different temperature than Kelardasht because it is 1000 meters above sea level. The springs placed within it supply the water for this magnificent freshwater. Furthermore, rain and snowmelt are accumulated in this freshwater. As a result, it is reasonable to expect Valasht's water level to be lower during the warmer months of the year and higher during the rainy months.

Many tourists come to Valasht to relax, appreciate nature, fish near the pond, walk, swim, or dive in it, and so on. Of course, as previously stated, the depth of Valasht is great, and swimming is not advised unless you are a professional. Because there is little foliage or specific shelter around Valasht, it is no surprise that it is better suited for transitory and one-day visits. There are only a few trees around the Valasht, and you'll have to be lucky to find a spot to rest because tree shadows are generally claimed by other tourists.
