This is a very unique natural site in Iran; there are only afew of these natural mineral sites in the world! I wote 5-stare only for the importance of the site for environmentalists around the globe! I should say it is a remote site, very far from any city or town. For accessing the site you need a 2 hours and 20 minutes of driving and a 30 minutes of walking from the nearest parking space to reach the traces springs. There are two adjacent springs, one of them were torally dried at the time of my visit on Nov 2017, unfortunately. The site is vastly under destruction for two main reasons 1: the shortage (discharge) of underground waters in Iran. 2: careless visitors who violently run on the pools and damage them. There is no distinct boundary around the site which make the photography a good experience! Anyway the good news for environmentalist is that the site is already so far away- 95 km south of (the city of) sari. So few careless people would damage it. The springs contains Calcium Carbonate, Iron Carbonate as well as Carbonate dioxide degases from the minerals ... the whole system are in orange and red primarily because of ironcarbonate. The whole complex is like a naturally-form staircase. Although it is possible for you to camp around the site, there is no equipment at the site, you you are supposed to bring every possible needs along with yourself. If you don't wasnt to spend night there, so better to go there very soon in the morning to reach enough daylight. Who should visit the site: 1: people who are interested in the nature beauty and silence of the mountains! 2: scientists and environmentalists 3: photographers Who should not visit the site: 1: people who want to find somewhere close to city districts to camp and have fun! 2: people with family members who do not like to manage a short visit to a long-distant natural site. 3: people who look for a big site of forests; please consider that there is no tree there, no facilities, and the whole site is small! 4: people who do not care about environment! بازدید این سایت را به علاقمندان عکاسی، زمین شناسان و دانشمندان و علاقمندان به محیط زیست توصیه میکنم. سایت بشدت در معرض نابودی هست، بنابراین بازدید را به سالهای بعد موکول نکنید! سعی کنید تور حوالی ظهر را برای عکاسی از دست ندهید؛ می توانید از چتر رنگی و تکنیک های خاص عکاسی در این محل استفاده کنید. چنانچه به دنبال محلی برای استراحت و کمپ بهمراه خانواده هستید، این محل مناسب نیست بجهت دوری؛ عدم وجود هر گونه امکانات، پوشش گیاهی بسیار ناچیز و مجموعا اینکه اگر جذب عکاسی و یا توجه و لذت بردن از حوضچه های سرخ و زرد رنگ باداب سورت نشوید، بسرعت کلافه میشوید و در این‌شرایط باید بیست الی نیم ساعت پیاده و بیشتر از ۳ ساعت با ماشین تا ساری ادامه دهید که در اینصورت تجربه ناخوشایندی می باشد.

Badab Soort (Persian: باداب سورت‎) is a natural site in Mazandaran Province in northern Iran, 95 kilometres (59 mi) south of the city of Sari, and 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west of Orost village. It comprises a range of stepped travertine terrace formations that has been created over thousands of years as flowing water from two mineral hot springs cooled and deposited carbonate minerals on the mountainside.

Although the weather was around freezing tempratures at the time we got there (23december), yet the spectacular view of the spring pools and the surrounding mountains at sunset totally worth the time and effort we put. furthermore at the time we got there (late afternoon), there were only one small group of visitors over there. The entrance fee was 150000 Rial per visitor .

So beautiful,so unique !one of the best natural painting I saw until now! 99% of road is good , you can go with normal cars

One of the best places to visit in Chahardangeh District. You may need about one day to explore the region. Neighbour villages are hospitable and you will find a local place with a reasonable price to spend night in these villages. There is no lights and other road guidance symbols between main road and the area of terrace springs, so you will need more equipments if you want to climb the road at night.

We stayed in sari and it took us a while to get there but it was absolutely worth it. Pictures can't show the beauty of badab e surt. Make sure to try out the aash 👌🍲 Another thing is that the spa is located on top of a hill so u can't get there without an off-road vehicle but if u don't have one, u can rent one and the locals will take u there so np 😊

Its good for watching it one time, not more If u want to go there except summer, try it in thursdays and fridays, because there are services like tea, ash, tour leader and... Its people are very kind and comfortable.

it is a very good place for visiting the road is good till 1-2 kilometers to the place there is a parking down there and you can park your car and take the local service to going to the main place or walk there for like 15 minutes . if you go there do not miss the chance to swim in the natural pool. its amazing.

there are 2 options to get there by public transportation there are mini bus from Sari and Semnan to the Orost village that you can reach near the Badab sourt ( 6 Km) I have not tried the mini bus from Semnan but Mini bus from Sari leaves at 8 am and 1pm and it take about 3 hours to get there i have numbers of drivers but they do not speak English Regarding accomodation you can stay at Orost village Notice that weather is cold there when i was there it was summer weather of Teharn was 36 but weather in Badab was 10 anyway for more information don't hesitate drop me a message. If it was helpful for you please like my review 🙂

BADAB SOORT is a natura beutiful site in mazandaran you can see gessed water. It contain very salty water that is considered to have medicinal properties especially rheumatism and some type of skin disorders. You can see red and yellow colored pools shaped as staircase. To reach these incredibly beautiful springs you have to pickup truck riding😊

It wasn't that much fantastic as its pictures because the human destroyed it. Dangerous and long road

It was way better if people care more about the nature. Beautiful place which mostly ruined by inconsideration.

The path is a bit hard (30 min walk) but higly recommended.

There are springs similar to Badab Surat in Pamukkale, Türkiye. Badab Surat springs are located in Mazandaran province, south of Sari city, Chahardangeh district, Pusht Kouh village, Surat village, between Arost and Mal Khaswat villages. From the north, these springs reach the heights and hills covered with forests with coniferous trees, and from the south, they overlook the valleys downstream, and from the east, they are adjacent to the heights covered with bushy plants and shrubs. West of it is also surrounded by Erost village.
