Gach Sar (Persian: گچسر‎, also Romanized as Gach-i-Sar and Getschesar)[1] is a village in Nesa Rural District, Asara District, Karaj County, Alborz Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 133, in 35 families.[2] Located on the main road from Tehran to Chalus on the Caspian coast, 7 km south of the Kandavan Tunnel, Gach Sar has farmlands irrigated by the Karaj River, producing fruits, as well as plants for animal fodder.[3]

Gach Sar has a gypsum mine, and a hotel built during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi as a royal lodge. The Qajar-era monarch Naser al-Din Shah vacationed here twice.[3]

Wildlife

Naturally occurring local plants include marjoram, bugloss, and marshmallows. Wild animals include jackals, wolves, foxes, boars, and bears.[3]

gollark: Ah, the forums and their joys.

gollark: Hmm. Possibly. But that'd be a lot of moderator work.

gollark: Not great when there are multiple parallel discussions, plus there's no way for stuff people like to be more visible.

gollark: I've always thought that forums were poorly structured for most conversation anyway - you just put text into linear things and quote people usually.

gollark: Inconsistency is important - memorizing the differences between countless weirdnesses is a waste of development time.
