Step into a land that is full of fresh and green flowers and plants. Somewhere between fresh forests and towering mountains wearing their green skirts. Smell the aroma of the tea fields to slowly realize that the words are the words of Amalesh. An attractive place in Gilan whose mild weather makes you want to breathe!
To reach Amalesh, we have to go to the east of Gilan. Let's leave Rasht and pass Astana Ashrafieh, Lahijan and Langroud. At 76 km from Rasht, you will find Sarokele Amlesh with its green mountains. It is about an hour and a half from the center of Gilan, or the city of Rasht, to Amalesh. What is the distance from Amlesh to the sea?
The distance between Amlesh and the sea is a quarter! But in order to go to the sea from Amalesh, you have to go to one of the two cities of Rudsar or Langrod and from there reach the coast of the Caspian Sea. It is about 16 kilometers from Amlesh to these two cities.
About its name, history and name
Along with natural beauty, Amlesh is full of relics left from the heart of history. This area was a residential place for people since the time of Shah Abbas Safavi and has many historical attractions.
In order to know what Amalesh means, we need to separate the two words "Am" and "Lash" from each other. Em means river and Lesh comes from stagnation.
In fact, Amlesh means the stagnant river, which may have been known by this name because of its neighborhood with the stagnant Shalman River. But no one knows the exact secret of this naming!
