Comment: All sources seem to be connected to the subject (blog posts and tourism sites). Wikipedia relies on independent, verifiable sources. LR.127 (talk) 14:44, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Otaghak (apparently a blog) and Tasnim News Agency (deprecated) are not reliable sources and should be replaced by better sourcing. Also, is there a reason for the title to be "Alshaytan Mountain" (with the Arabic particle) rather than Shaytan Mountain or Satan's/Devil's Mountain? Gilan seems pretty far away from the Arabic-speaking areas. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 22:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Shaytan Mountain (Persian: شیطان‌کوه), or as it is called in Persian Sheytan Kuh^[1] is a natural lake in the city of Lahijan, Kilan Province, in northern Iran.^[2] Located on the eastern side of the city, it is evergreen in all seasons of the year. Shaytan Mountain is an extension of the Alborz mountain range with a height of 60 meters above sea level and fruitful and non-fruitful plants and trees.^[3]

Geographical location

Shaytan Mountain is located in the northern Iranian city of Lahijan.^[4] The 14,711-square-kilometer Gilan Province is also located between the Alborz and Talesh mountain ranges in northern Iran. It is bordered to the west by Ardabil province, to the east by Mazandaran province, to the south by Zanjan province, and to the north by the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea. This province is separated from Mazandaran province by the Safid Tameshk River, which flows through the cities of Chaboksar and Ramsar. According to research and archaeological excavations, the history of Kilan dates back to before the last ice age, between 50 and 150,000 years ago. In the sixth century BCE, the people of Kilan, in alliance with the Achaemenid King Cyrus, overthrew the existing Medes system of government.^[5]^[6]

Shaytan Lake and Mountain in the northern city of Lahijan, Iran

Overview

Shaytan Mountain is part of the Alborz mountain range. Below this mountain is a water basin with a total area of 17 hectares and a small green island connected to its southern side by a bridge that is surrounded by a street on all its banks. It is noteworthy that in Kilan Province, centered in the city of Rasht, most areas are still pristine, unaffected by modern technology, and not subject to human activities.^[7]^[8]

Mountain landmarks

One of the most important landmarks of Shaytan Mountain is the Lahijan Waterfall, it originates from the heart of this mountain and then runs downhill, and its water flows throughout the year because the local municipality pumps water to it with pumps so that its water flows is not interrupted. Next to it is an amphitheater road that leads tourists to the top of the mountain with 750 steps.^[9]

Tourist attractions

Noteworthy here are the basin, the mountain called Shaytan Koh, Pam Subz, the large waterfall, the national park, Amir Kleh Lake, the year-round green tea gardens, the historical tea museum, and the Kulshan Bath.^[10] Another tourist attraction in the city of Lahijan is the 550-meter-long cable car. It connects what is called Bam Spaz, meaning the green roof, and the top of Mount Taj Kharus, which has two stops, five large columns, and the highest point of elevation is 350 meters above sea level, and next to it is a park equipped with all tourist services, including restaurants, roofed rooms for family rest and multiple stores.^[10]
