One of the interesting and very beautiful areas in Mazandaran province that has been considered by
many travelers and tourists is philband village.
This village is located 57 km south of Amol city and east of Haraz river. The access route to this
village is from Haraz road and in the side route towards Philband, between Alimestan forest and
Razkeh village.
It can be said that the reason for the beauty of this region is due to the clouds that float like the
waves of the sea, very beautiful cloud masses have covered the mountains and created a unique
view. But the density of these clouds decreases during the day, but they are usually higher at night
and close to morning.
