Overview

Ziarat is about 8 km south of the city of Gorgan. The Arabic word ziyāra (زيارة), meaning "visit," is used in Persian to refer to (pilgrimage to) a holy place.

Ziarat lies in a valley inside the eastern part of the Caspian Hyrcanian rain forests at an altitude of 1,563 meters above sea level.[7] There are three mosques in the village and near the shrine is a hot spring that feeds a public bath before joining the valley river. Some of the surrounding hills are grazed by sheep, goats and cattle. South of the village, at the end of a dirt road, is a waterfall that is a popular tourist attraction.
