Olsabelangah, also written Olasbelangah, is a highland area above Masal in western Gilan Province. Known for green pastures, wooden cottages, mountain views and frequent mist, it is one of the region’s best-known warm-season escapes.

What makes Olsabelangah distinctive?
The landscape sits where the forested slopes around Masal rise toward open highland pasture. Weather can change quickly, and low cloud often moves through the hills. Traditional wooden buildings remain part of the visual character of the area.
Planning a visit
Late spring through early autumn is generally the most practical period for a visit. Mountain conditions can still be cool, wet or foggy, so travelers should carry warm layers and suitable footwear. Road and local service conditions can change; check them locally before heading into the highlands.
Olsabelangah is best approached as a nature destination rather than a place with guaranteed urban services. Bring essential supplies from Masal and avoid relying on old claims about electricity, mobile coverage or internet access.
