Opert Village<\/strong>, an ocean of clouds at the border of forest and mountain, is located at the last mountainous point of Opert. Here, a mountain wall blocks the path of clouds from the northern slope and Mazandaran province, creating a sea of clouds<\/strong>. To the north, the view is filled with this ocean of clouds, with the green forests of Savadkuh<\/strong> in the background. However, the southern part of the area is less green and receives less rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Opert summer resort boasts unique nature, bubbling and clear springs, lush plains, and a sea of clouds. With the arrival of spring and summer, nomads travel to this beautiful green area, grazing their sheep and flocks in the Opert pasture. Visitors who enjoy observing the nomadic lifestyle can visit from spring to late summer and not only interact with the nomadic people but also purchase fresh dairy products and livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From early May<\/strong> to early October<\/strong>, the area is full of nomads and tourists. However, with the onset of cold and adverse weather, Opert becomes deserted, and fewer tourists visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
