This is the standard route up Alam Kuh, the second highest mountain in Iran 4828m. It is popular with Iranian climbers but due t the lack of tourism, not many foreigners attempt the climb. It is a beautiful climb across ice patches, grassy knolls and lots of hiking up scree slopes.

This is the traditional route up and down the highest peak near Tehran, Tochal 3963m. This is very popular with Tehran locals but not many international climbers due to the lack of tourism in Iran. The route is primarily hiking/running but some easy scrambling is required. It starts in a small town on the outskirts of Tehran and then goes up into the mountain with scrambling before the views really open up and you look down on Tehran city.
