self guided treks in the alborz mountain range

There are always those who want to be a little more adventurous and travel the unknown. I sometimes get emails asking for maps and directions. I am happy to provide as much info as I have time to but there are no marked trails in Iranian mountains bar a well trodden path that goes up to Tochal summit north of Tehran. (Alt. 3950m)
If you go to Tochal on a Thursday or a Friday there will be hundreds of hikers walking up and you do not really need a guide but then it is not that interesting so see the ugly city with all it's smog even when you are on the summit.
For other summits you either need a guide or a GPS map, you may buy the GPS map on line.
For more remote and less trodden paths in the Alamut Valley Taleghan and other less known Central and Western Alborz summits you are well advised to get a guide.
I am happy to provide one or join you on your adventure.

With 52% of its surface area covered in mountains, Iran ranks as one of the most mountainous countries in the world. Two major mountain ranges dominate the landscape: the Alborz, stretching from the northwest to the northeast along the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, and the formidable Zagros range, extending from the northwest to the southeast.

Both mountain ranges offer excellent opportunities for hiking, mountaineering, skiing, canyoning, mountain biking, climbing, ski mountaineering, paragliding, and wildlife watching. Culturally, the Alborz and Zagros ranges are inhabited by nomadic and semi-nomadic communities who use the...

Is it safe to travel to Iran right now?

This question is on the minds of many, and the answer varies depending on who you ask. So, I thought I’d share some thoughts to help provide clarity. The influence of news and social media on our perceptions is undeniable. We’re bombarded with information online, much of it driven by various agendas. As an old Persian saying goes, "No cat catches a mouse for the sake of God," meaning everyone has their reasons for what they say or do. But what does it mean to be "safe"? If you’re concerned about personal safety from theft, robbery, or assault by ordinary Iranians, know that these incidents are extremely rare. There are far more dangerous places around the world where people travel in droves. If your concern is the possibility of war breaking out while you’re in Iran, consider this: Iran endured an eight-year war with Iraq, and since then, only occasional skirmishes along the borders have been reported. The likelihood of an all-...
