Darband Tourism

Darband was originally a village close to Tehran, situated in the northernmost part of the city. This quaint area serves as a gateway to the Alborz mountains for the residents of the capital city. It has transformed into a popular recreational region for both locals and tourists who aspire to escape the hustle and bustle of Tehran. Starting at the end of Velenjak Street in the north of Tehran, Darband is an old hiking trail, replete with a variety of restaurants, tea houses, and fruit stalls. The further up you go, the trail becomes a bit more rugged, presenting a more exclusive view and slightly calmer atmosphere. Darband's vibrant atmosphere starts at the foot of the mountain with the sound of flowing streams and vendors offering traditional snacks and souvenirs. It's a starting point for hiking trips into the Mount Tochal, which is part of the larger Alborz mountain range. The area is well known for its beautiful natural landscapes, clean, fresh air, and the traditional culinary experiences it offers.
