Pack your bags because we want to have a very exciting trip to the LI-LI Dorud Strait. A beautiful and spectacular gorge that is a great place for swimming and water-related activities. Join us to find out where the LI-LI Dorud Strait is and what incredible beauty lies around it, from the green trees and the cool water of the Marble River that goes through the LI-LI Dorud Strait to the small and large ponds of the Strait itself.

The northern provinces of Iran are located along the Caspian Sea. Provinces that live in the shadow of rainforests and foothills. An unrivaled nature covers it beautifully but its history always shines through. We want to go to one of these provinces, which, with his name, cries of liberation and freedom from Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali, resonates in our minds and hearts. The local colorful clothes of the people will be a spectacular sight to see plus the smell of grilled fish which is a trademark for this particular region.
Today, Gilan is our destination, a place that has a strange combination of history and nature and culture. A region that looks like a rainbow with seven-color sights. If you feel down a bit you can go to the forests or get to the sky at its heights and peaks. The desire to hear the music of the sea waves will take you to the coast of the Caspian Sea.
If you have the cravings of walking in the streets of the village or at the heart of history, you can simply go to Gilan and enjoy it. This time, we will introduce the province and will head to every corner of it in the future and we will depict all the spectacular scenery later on.

If you are a fan of long walks in the woods, and you want to experience everything in nature, come with us to the Laton Waterfall in Gilan. We want to show you one of Iran’s natural masterpieces and show you pictures of it. The special feature of this attraction is that it is known as the tallest waterfall in Iran, and of course, the beauty of the path to Laton Waterfall is also one of its attractions.

Laton Waterfall

Known as Iran’s tallest waterfall it is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Iran. Getting to Laton Waterfall is a trip in and of itself because the trail is also spectacular. It is also an attractive option for camping. To get there we need to go through Astara and get to Lavandevil and Kuteh Kumeh Village, but that’s not all. To reach this beautiful waterfall, we have a beautiful path ahead of us; it’s about 4 hours of walking in the woods and passing through the hills, which should take place alongside people who know the terrain, but it is undoubtedly worth the effort. When you think about the destination, the trip becomes easy and pleasant for you, though hard it may be. Of course, you can hitchhike and skip the trail or a part of it with a pickup from the locals.
On the way to the waterfall, we go through a mountain range and go to the heart of a lush forest. On the outskirts of the road, the Lavandevil River flows and leads us to the pastures. We deal with fatigue and thirst by drinking a sip of spring water and a short rest in the middle of the way. After passing through all the beauty, with a 750-meter-high elevation, Laton Waterfall reveals itself to us. There is still 500 meters to go, but the beauty and splendor of the waterfall rejuvenate us.On the way to the waterfall, we go through a mountain range and go to the heart of a lush forest.
