Golestan National Park

Golestan · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

What gives Golestan National Park its character is the proximity of very different habitats. Moist Hyrcanian forest meets mountains, grassland and semi-arid environments, supporting a broad range of plant and animal life. The historic Gorgan–Khorasan road crosses this varied landscape, adding a line of human movement to its natural transitions. A visit is rewarding when attention rests on those transitions rather than on an expected encounter with wildlife. Changes in vegetation and terrain can tell the story by themselves. Keeping disturbance low is essential to preserving the diversity you have come to understand.
