Khanbulan Lake
Xanbulan gölü
A mountain reservoir surrounded by forest, its surface mirroring the ancient Hyrcanian woods, and a favorite leisure spot for Lankaran locals.
Khanbulan Lake is a reservoir on the Khanbulan River, about 15 km southwest of Lankaran city center, on the edge of Hirkan National Park. Dense broadleaf forest surrounds it on three sides, and its waters are a striking emerald green. The lakeside has a lake loop trail, lookout points, and several resorts and barbecue restaurants. You can go boating or fishing, and try local specialties such as lavangi, a grilled chicken dish, and Lankaran black tea. In autumn the hillsides blaze with color, and the misty mornings are especially atmospheric. A taxi takes about 20 minutes. It makes a good half-day outing and pairs well with the national park.
