TRAVEL TO DARBAND IN NORTH OF TEHRAN IN IRAN

Travel to darband in north of Tehran in Iran

Three kilometres uphill from Tajrish Sq, the road ends, becoming a path winding up a narrow rocky valley, with water cascading down the slope. The trail heads up into the hills past a picturesque succession of #teahouses, restaurants and fruit-conserve stalls: it's one of the most #relaxing places in #Tehran to kick back with tea and a qalyan, with a mountain-village feel.

Near the entrance to #Darband village is a chair lift, which will cut out some of the slog uphill (although it was closed for renovation at the time of writing). Serious hikers can continue east across the mountain for around 5km to Park-e Jamshidiyeh.

A visit to Darband can easily be combined with Sa’d Abad: exit the palace complex via the top entrance and keep going up the hill.
