Mount Damavand, located 70km Northeast of Tehran, is registered as a National Heritage Site. It plays a significant role in Iranian mythology, literature, and folklore. There are many known routes to the summit, with varying levels of difficulty. We take the most popular one, i.e. the Southern Route.
