Trekking opportunities in Iran
| Mount Damavand | |
|---|---|
Mount Damavand is Iran's highest mountain at 5,671 metres, located northeast of Tehran overlooking the Caspian Sea. It has a classic volcano shape and provides a tough but non-technical trekking challenge. From the summit, the green slopes and valleys to the north and the barren deserts to the south ensure spectacular views. | |
