The pink lake of Iran or mars?

Maharloo Lake is located in the highland of Shiraz, Iran. It is dark pink in colour due to the red tides underneath, hence lovingly called the Pink Lake. It is a seasonal salt lake with the size approx 25000 hectres. Undoubtedly the most amazing and strangest sight I have ever seen and honestly ,it made me nervous. We took a flight with Paramotor that made it possible for us to the the lake from high above. Drive or hire a taxi to get there as it is not accessible to public transportation. Get the taxi to wait up whilst you do the touristy stuff and selfies. There is no other activity than taking pictures, walk on salt, paragliding, picnic and a little hike along the lake. There were flamingos! A lot of them too. I can't fully describe how i feel about this place, yes it was pretty, 100%..but it was also so very strange. Almost feel like you are in some sci-fi film. It reminded me of Vormir (avengers, where the soul stone was (found). It is insanely beautiful and scary at the same time. No restaurants of here just enjoy the beautiful lake, hold some salt and take lots of pictures! This is nature showing off. #hiking #nationalpark #awesomepic #couplestrip #pinklake #iran #scenic
