Kandelous is a village in the functions of Kajur district of Nowshahr city in Mazandaran province of Iran. Kendlos village, with four thousand years of history, in the heart of the Alborz mountains, is looking for a companion to open the table of hearts and talk about pure-natured and hardworking men and women...Kendlos village is rightfully one of the most beautiful and cleanest. It is considered the villages of Iran that shines like a gem in the heart of the beautiful nature of Northern Alborz. This village is located along the Zanos valley, and the green and beautiful area of Kajur, one of the first and oldest human settlements in Mazandaran province.
To go to the village of Kandelous, you have to drive 6 kilometers on the Chalus road, after passing the city of Marzan Abad, until you reach a side and asphalt road on the right, called Doab Kejur. After traveling 42 kilometers on a winding road, and paying attention to the road signs, you will enter Kandelous. If you have been to different villages in Iran and compare them with candles, the first characteristic you will notice is the cleanliness and observance of hygiene principles in this village. There are trash cans everywhere in the village and all the residents are trying to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the village, so we tourists should also respect this effort and noble culture and avoid throwing garbage and damaging the fabric of the village. Considering that our dear motherland, Iran, during thousands of years of its dark and bright history, has been the arena of invasions by foreigners and internal and external enemies many times and most of the works of civilization, objects, libraries and historical documents of its cities have been destroyed by these wars, We must search for history in the heart of the villages of this land. A large number of villages in Iran, due to being located in inaccessible and mountainous areas, were spared from these destructions and barbaric attacks, and they can make a great contribution to clarifying the history of our country. In the meantime, candles are clear evidence that the discovery of historical objects such as clay cups and tools of life and agriculture, weapons, locks and ornamental objects, represents an ancient civilization that is at least four thousand years old. These documents and objects were collected by the efforts of Dr. Ali Asghar Jahangiri in the Anthropological Museum of Kandelous (located in the same village) and are open to all. One of the attractions of this area is the Anthropology Museum and the Botanical Museum of Kandelous, which presents information about the ancient history and the civilization of the area.
Kandolus Agricultural Complex
Dr. Jahangiri is also building the Kandelos Agricultural Complex with the aim of being able to do the same for the deprived and remote areas of Kandelos. Registration for the Cultural and Charitable Institute was also one of the projects being undertaken at the same time as the Hexane and Kandelus Agricultural Complex.
