Homayoun Kuh Peak

Homayoun Kuh Peak is one of the scenic mountain spots of Markazi Province, in Arak County. It lies in the southeast of the Sorkheh mountain range and is a popular destination for climbers and nature lovers in the region. The peak overlooks the village of Aqilabad and parts of the countryside around Arak, and its elevation is estimated at about 2,580 meters above sea level.

With its varying slopes and wide views over the valleys and ridges of the Sorkheh mountains, the peak is a good choice for easy to moderate climbing and for experiencing the mountain outdoors. The ascent routes usually begin in the valleys and along the footpaths around the village of Qeshlaq or Aqilabad. After following dirt and steep trails, climbers reach a broad view of the landscape of central Iran. Climbing Homayoun Kuh lets you enjoy the natural environment and also take in rural scenery, mountain slopes and the wide horizon of the region.

Several dirt and mountain tracks lead to the peak from Arak and from around the villages of Aqilabad and Qeshlaq. The main tracks can usually be driven to some extent in an ordinary car, after which the climb continues on foot along the footpath. The best time to visit and climb Homayoun Kuh is spring and early autumn, when the weather is mild and the trails are drier and safer. While in the area, climbers and nature lovers should follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: avoid making excessive noise, do not leave litter, and do not damage the vegetation or the land, so that this natural environment is preserved for the future.
