Top 10 Places To See In Tehran

Mount Tochal

Mount Tochal sits in the mountain range to the north of Tehran, with its peak reaching a staggering 3,993m (13,000ft). An excellent challenge for mountaineers, trails set off from Darakeh and Velanjak, with tea houses staggered along the way. If you lack the time or inclination for the trek, a telecabin service will take you all the way up the mountain for a reasonable fee. The top of the mountain also has a small ski piste, with equipment available to rent. Not as impressive as Dizin or Shemshak ski resorts, but ideal for a quick afternoon getaway.
