DARBAND
To the north of the former palace of the last Shah (Sad Abbad), clinging to the slope of Mount Torchal, Darband is a former mountain village that has been integrated into the municipality of Tehran. Few foreign tourists here, but many rooms, on the weekend, for an atypical hiking in a mountain and good child. Families take pictures on the square before the pedestrian trail, in front of the bronze statue. Then the small hike begins along the torrent, alternating stairs, slabs and bridges over water. Throughout the trail (approximately 1 h climb, depending on your shape), the fruit sales kiosks and the small skewers restaurants, the tea and shisha lounge with its étages floors with carpets and cushions, up to the torrent's bed. This hiking path is easier than that of Tochal. Sitting on the carpet, in freshness, Tehran seems far away… a charming experience! In winter, the place becomes a small ski resort.

Members' reviews on DARBAND
Plein de petits restos, salon de thé, sur le trajet, ne prendre que la montée ( ou la descente), pour profiter de ces endroits.
Au refuge Shirpala, vous pouvez continuer jusqu'au sommet Tochal mais comptez 2 jours de montée en partant de Darband.
