Its boundaries go up north to Caspian, south to highlands of Zanjan province, west to Gilan province, and east to the city of Tonnekabun. The city has nearly 688 square kilometers area composed of two distinct sections:Mountainous and low valleys. The former section is a part of Alburz Mountain Range.Mountains of these sections are covered by the extensive woods and green pastures.Its valleys are the lower slopes of Alburz Range, divided by different rivers extending to Caspian Sea.The most important of these rivers are Safa Rud, Chalek Rud, Nesar Rud, and Turk Rud. Ramsar mountains are close to the sea, hence the high humidity and excessive rainfall. For the past ten centuries Ramsar has been a prosperous center of population and seat of great houses. The oldest name of this area was Sakhtsar (Hardihood), changed in A.D. 1935 to its opposite. Also visit these cities in Mazandaran Province
