In a park near Ali and Batoul's house. They are making rose-water here. Check the bottles at the right side.
Tochal-mountain: it was our first time in a telecabin. From this hight you have a nice view over Tehran, although there is a lot of smog.
stepping in the telecabin. from close they are quite bigger :)
This place on the mountain was meant for children, but their grandfathers like it too!
Batoul (or Mitra), our host and best friend in Tehran.

The sky so clear, the air so fresh and the weather so cold. That's Tehran too!
Drinking tea in one of the many restaurants and teahouses, with the typical banks: you can sit on the bank with at least four people :)
Donkeys and mules are used for bringing stuff up the mountain.
cold and clear water comes down from the mountain, here and in the Darband too.
There was an old bridge which huge nails in the timber, under the new one.
sitting near the water to rest a bit, while talking about life in Iran, the good and the bad sides of it.
The weather is fresh, which makes climbing very enjoyable.
slowly we get higher, but the path seems to end never
tired? no, not at all, let's walk further :)
nice views in the mountains
