Nardīn
Nardin lies in the uplands east of Bastam, beyond the eastern Alborz foothills. Its settlement and neighbouring villages occupy a district between the Gorgan plain and the dry interior leading toward Jajarm. The road from Bastam through the mountain pastures towards Nardin offered an approach to Khorasan, crossing country whose hills and valleys contrast with the broad lowlands nearer the Caspian.
