Getting There & Around

How to Get to Ashuradeh

Ashuradeh is reached by private boat from coastal towns in Mazandaran Province. The nearest larger harbors are Nowshahr (about 40-60 km to the west depending on the route) and Bandar-e-Amlash; local fishermen and small charter operators can make the crossing. There are no scheduled ferry services and no visitor infrastructure on the island-travelers should arrange a return time and bring provisions.

Tips for Visiting Ashuradeh

  • Arrange a local boat from Bandar-e-Amlash or Bandar Nowshahr-regular ferries are rare; ask fishermen about morning departures
  • Bring sunscreen and a windproof jacket; the Caspian picks up a sudden, salty bite
  • Explore the abandoned settlement carefully-many structures are fragile and there are no facilities
