Useful for your trip

Avoid
Check road conditions before traveling in Mazandaran Province during rainy season; heavy rains and floods frequently cause road closures.
Avoid
Avoid taking closed or damaged roads even if locals say you can walk them; some routes are dead-ends with no bridges or turnaround points.
Avoid
Do not attempt steep muddy off-road descents without proper preparation; mud becomes extremely slippery and vehicles can get severely stuck.
Timing
Allow extra time for mountain routes; a planned 4.5-hour ride may be delayed by road closures or detours around flooded/damaged sections.
Tip
Be aware that remote mountain areas may have no other travelers during bad weather; locals avoid these areas, meaning no help will be nearby if you get stuck.
Transport
When roads close, have alternative routes planned; the traveler had to backtrack and choose a different road when main route was closed.
