Mazandaran 
Mazandaran is a province south of the Caspian Sea and Sari is its capital city. Mazandaran is synonymous for many Iranians with the sea, sunny beaches and of course rain. Most of the 14 million Iranians who visit Mazandaran every year, are nature lovers. Due to its unique climate and natural reserves, Mazandaran has cradled one of the oldest civilizations in Iran’s history in its generous bosom. Excavations in Gohar Tappeh reveal incredible historical facts. The tribes known as Amardians lived in the region long before the immigration of Aryans. Remnants from the Amardians (including the famous golden cups of Marlik) reflect their advanced civilization. Mazandaran is also neighbor with Gilan Province with its beautiful capital city, Rasht. These two provinces share many features such as landforms and similar bodies of water. They are also pivotal to Iran’s thriving tourism industry. The massive population of Tehran always looks for a new city with lots of attractions for their weekend vacations. Tehran is no short of wonderful spots for visitors. There are many great resorts, public parks and entertainment centers like Dizin, Shemshak, and Chitgar. But even the most sensational spectacles become dull through time. Mazandaran provides the weary population of the capital with a whole gamut of resorts and natural sights. They just need to travel to the north. The rest, including quality accommodation is prepared for them beforehand. Here we present some of the best-loved hotels and hostels in the beautiful province of Mazandaran.
Together with Gilan, Mazandaran is the most popular vacation spot among Iranians. During the long holiday that follows Iranian new year, millions of Iranians travel to the north of the country. The mountains and forests of Mazandaran beam with greenery, and its weather is deliciously mild. Accommodating such an enormous number of visitors is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Rainbows are colorful arcs high in the sky created through the interaction of moisture and light. Rainbows are very beautiful but fleeting spectacles.

You will find Badab-e Surt on the eastern border of Mazandaran's map. The mineral water that erupts from these springs fills sedimentary formations that look like multilevel balconies. Beside their curative effects, Badab-e Surt springs are famous for their magical colors. Different minerals each donate a hue to the palette of nature in Badab-e Surt. Badab-e Surt Springs lie in a beautiful meadow and as a result of the open space around, the weather is usually cool and windy. Badab-e Surt Springs tours are among our top-rated nature tours.
