Darband, Tehran
Tourist area in the Alborz mountain range
Darband (Persian: دربند, [dæɾˈbænd]), formerly a village close to Tajrish, Shemiran, is a neighborhood inside Tehran's metropolitan limits.[1] It is the beginning of a hiking trail into Mount Tochal, which towers over Tehran. The Persian term darband translates to "door of the mountain" (band, a variation of vand and fand, meaning "mountain").
The start of the trail at Darband is about 250 metres long and is dotted with a number of small cafes and restaurants. These are quite popular and are busy in the evenings, as locals and tourists alike visit the many hooka lounges along the trail.[2] The Zahir-od-dowleh cemetery is also located in Darband.
