Despite its small size, Lake Shourmast is arguably the most notable attraction in Savadkouh, a small village 6 kilometers east of Pol-e Sefid in the lush Mazandaran Province.
Surrounded by towering alder trees, the lake is located close to several historical and religious attractions, including Veresk Bridge, Lajim Tower and Abdolhaq Shrine.
The lake’s proximity to a number of villages and towns makes finding accommodation an easy task. Nonetheless, those with an affinity toward nature can erect tents and spend a night by the lake.
Shourmast is easily accessible, thanks to its convenient location near one of the main routes connecting Tehran to Mazandaran.
This convenience, however, comes at a price: Traveling from the Iranian capital to the verdant northern provinces is a hassle during peak holiday season because of the heavy traffic.
