Kandolus (Persian: كندلوس)[a] is a village in Zanus Rastaq Rural District of Kojur District, Nowshahr County, Mazandaran province, Iran.
Kendlos village sits in the heart of the Alborz mountain range and along the Zanos valley and the green area of Kojur.

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. The documents and objects were collected by the efforts of Dr Ali Asghar Jahangiri in the Anthropological Museum of Kandolus (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 Kandolus, which presents information about the ancient history and the civilization of the area.[citation needed]
