Overview

Rock Climbing in Bande Yakhchal

Bande Yakhchal is located in North of Tehran and it has turned into an attracting place for rock climbers. Almost all practical classes like mountaineering, rock climbing, caving and rescue are being held in this area, in fact, it has become the rock climbing center for entire Iran. Let’s start our trip from Darband, an old area in foothills of Alborz mountain. Trekking from Sarband square, you’ll see lots of cafes and chic restaurants ready to host people and travellers, on both sides of the route. however, if you look at it from an eco-tourist’s point of view, it may not be a great attribute since the number of shops and cafes are increasing. Mounting may get somehow difficult in the route. So, it may not be suitable for people without physical fitness or mountaineering practices. Although if you want an easy trekking and richer nature without too many cafes on your way, Darakeh route is a better choice.

After about one hour, we’ll face a dilemma and the way on our right will lead us to Bande Yakhchal. There’s also a cafe available in case we need more rest. By passing the bridge on our right, we enter the main route of Bande Yakhchal. After a little walk, we see that the way leads us through a cafe, called “Baghcheh Camping”. Next, we get to an area consisting of some hills and covered by trees, which is a wonderful place to relax. Going ten minutes forward, on the top of the forest, we’ll get to a reviving natural spring. Drink and supply enough water in your bottles too as there won’t be any other water sources on the rest of the way. Climbing more from here, we will get to a vast area covered by large rocks. This region is called Bande Yakhchal.

 

Athletes who come to Bande Yakhchal, love this place so much that gave special names like Albert, Maryam, Kolahak and Chekmeh to its rocks. You will probably see some rock climbers, who are practicing on these rocks. In long distance, in front, a 200-meter mountain wall is visible. This wall is actually the last destination for professional rock climbers and they come to this region in order to defeat it. There’s also a shelter called Shervin on the left side of the wall. It’s very possible that all the big rocks in Bande Yakhchal already fell down from top of this mountain wall. You can relax for some time, consider the environment and enjoy the nature around you. Observing and asking about different rocks and plants will teach you a lot.

 

You could try rock climbing in case you have physical fitness and enough training for it. A sport which is a great option for adrenaline junkies. As you set your steps and grab stones with your hands, you’re determined to get to the final destination. It can be a good treatment for depression and brings lots of happiness. That’s why even in playgrounds there are artificial models of rock climbing for kids.  It also can control the blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and increases body stamina. After a challenging and joyful day, we get back to Tehran with an exhausted body and a peaceful mind.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service :) TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. ;) TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.
