The Iranian coast of the Caspian stretches for 630 kilometres (391 miles) from Astara in the west, on the border with the Republic of Azerbaijan, to the Bandar-e Torkaman region in the east, near the Republic of Turkmenistan.
Two provinces Gilan and Mazanderan occupy this coastal belt, and have a varied terrain, with thick forests, mountains and a coastal plain.
The towering Alborz rises to over 3,658 metres (12,000 feet) and separates the Iranian plateau from the Caspian coast acting as a barrier preventing the moisture from the Caspian entering in land.
