Gach Sar (Persian: گچسر)[a] is a village in Nesa Rural District[3] of Asara District in Karaj County, Alborz province, Iran.

Located on the main road from Tehran to Chalus on the Caspian coast, 7 km south of the Kandavan Tunnel, Gach Sar has farmlands irrigated by the Karaj River, producing fruits, as well as plants for animal fodder.[4]

The village has a gypsum mine, and a hotel built during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi as a royal lodge. The Qajar-era monarch Naser al-Din Shah vacationed here twice.[4]
