Badab-e Surt is a natural staircase of travertine terraces high in the Alborz foothills above Sari — pools of mineral water in vivid white, orange and red, deposited over millennia by two springs (one salty, one iron-rich). Iran's quieter, wilder answer to Turkey's Pamukkale, it glows at sunrise and sunset amid remote highland pasture, reached by a rough mountain road from the Caspian side.
