A Trip in the Alborz Mountains range of Tehran City in Iran
This was around a year back during our trip to Iran.It's a very beautiful country, sadly too much of global political issues in this place which does not make this place a very tourist friendly. The whole of Iran is so picturesque, every place is unique, there are ice clad mountains, green landscapes, the famous Caspian Sea. In the city you see beautiful gardens all over the place. But language is a big barrier, very few people would speak English, it is very important to have a tour guide to visit this country, else one will feel lost. We went for 2 weeks in a Tour, so it was comfortable and really did not have much of issue.
This place where we visited is near Tehran, Mount Damavand, it is the highest mountain peak in Iran and located in the central part of the Alborz mountain range. The whole Mountain range is breathtaking. This particualr mountain has a mythology behind it. It is said that there is a Monster named Zohak who is chained up in this Mountain, whole day and night he keeps chewing the chains and weakens them, but at the crack of dawn when the cock crows the chain once again gets strong and binds the monster Zohak. Through this mythology it also conveys the message that good will always have victory over the evil, just about the time when Zohak would set free the cock crows and he again gets chained up, likewise when we think that the evil has taken over and there is no hope comes the ray of hope and goodness at rescue.
I love this picture, the way the clouds have covered up the peak, in the shape of the peak.
The Alborz Mountain Range
We took a halt here for quite some time. These horses were freely set to graze around.
Hope you all enjoyed the place and the pictures of Mount Damavand in the Alborz mountain range.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Not sure of that @masoud-m. I would love to but again we always need to keep being mindful about the situation.
Wow this looks amazing here :) I wish I could visit, and I hope the political stance changes one day and we can all experience the beauty! I love mountains:) I must be cold up there, but very hot in the summer too :)
When you visit Iran the only country that later you will have issues travelling to is US else no other country will really create a hassle. Yes it was very cold in certain places, specially the mountain side.
Wow...I am wondering how an evil can get chained at this beautiful place. It is like a heaven which have the natural beauty......still it is a myth. I would say no one would like to go away from this place...nature at best..👌

It's a metaphor of describing the victory over evil. I know it is a breadth taking place. The natural beauty is in abundance here.
It is a very beautiful place to visit @nainaztengra although it seems to be very cold near the peak of the mountains.
Thank you @cryptopie. It was bright and sunny the day we visited so we were quite comfortable but it was very windy. I guess the nights here must be freezing
I've always wanted to go to Iran but sadly the political instability makes it a low priority. Did you have any issues when you were there ?

That's true, rhe political conditions perceived are not very much in favor. But as such we did not face any issue. We rather found the place peaceful. They live on their terms which goes aganist other governments and hence such an image is created of the place.
