Kelardasht
Kelardasht is a city and capital of Kelardasht District, in Chalus County, Mazandaran Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 11,921, in 3,361 families.
The city comprises 5 districts. Hasankif has been the business district for many years and is currently also the political center.
Originally a farming area, in recent years much of its land was sold in small lots to build numerous villas which are occupied by summer visitors trying to escape the heat of Tehran and points further south.
Its attractions include Alamkooh Mountain, Abbasabad Road, Valasht lake and cooler climate. Picnicking and mountain climbing in the area surrounding RoudBarak are also popular, as well as in the Abbasabad Forest nearby.
The majority of the inhabitants speak Mazandarani language, but a few migrants speak Kurdish.
