Trekking in Nahar Khoran Forest of Gorgan

According to old stories, this area has been one of the stopovers where the residents of Gorgan used to take a rest and have a meal on their way back to home from their long journeys and the relatives used to greet the travelers at this place. That is why this place is called Nahar Khoran, meaning a place for having lunch!
