Golestan National Park
Lush, dense green canopies of the ancient Hyrcanian forests visible to the north.
Caspian Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the shimmering silver line of the Caspian Sea can be spotted.
Mount Damavand
The iconic, snow-capped volcanic cone dominates the horizon about 20 minutes before landing.
Lar Valley
High-altitude alpine meadows and the Lar Dam reservoir tucked within the Alborz folds.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Damavand. It appears roughly two-thirds into the flight. Ensure your window is clean as the peak provides one of the most photographed moments in Iranian aviation. Seasonal snow on the peak is most impressive from late autumn through spring.
