Masouleh travel guide

Iran Hostel
Why go
Masouleh climbs a steep slope so tightly that the roof of one house is the courtyard or street of the house above. It is one of Iran's most photographed villages.
Things to do
- Wander up the stairs and rooftops at dawn before the day-trippers arrive.
- Hike to the waterfall and into the beech forests.
- Try local cookies (koloocheh) and walnut-pomegranate dishes.
Getting there
About 1.5 hours from Rasht by shared taxi via Fuman.
Tips
Best May–October; fog is common, which only adds atmosphere. Avoid summer weekends and Nowruz, when it is very crowded.
