Lezoon Sharghi and Lezoon Gharbi Peaks

The Lezoon Sharghi (East Lezoon) and Lezoon Gharbi (West Lezoon) peaks are a group of prominent summits in the Central Alborz range, located in Shemiranat County, Tehran Province, and form part of the Tochal to Darabad ridge. Lying north of Tehran, these two peaks are known for their unspoiled mountain scenery and beautiful natural views. East Lezoon, at an elevation of about 3,540 meters above sea level, and West Lezoon, at about 3,585 meters above sea level, are among the middle peaks of this ridge. They stretch between the Piazchal Pass, the Eagle Valley (Eygel), Chal-Ow Peak and the Darabad heights, and play an important role in the region's climbing routes.

Along the natural trails around these peaks you can see the mountain vegetation of the Alborz, with meadows, pasture shrubs and native plants that look lush and beautiful in spring and summer. Fairly well-defined footpaths from Kolakchal to the Piazchal Pass, and from Darabad or other ridge routes, make these heights a good choice for climbing and nature tourism. On clear days, the wide views over the heights north of Tehran, the villages of Ahar and Eygel, and the surrounding plains lend the area a special beauty and appeal.

To reach these peaks, climbing programs usually start from Jamshidieh Park and the Kolakchal route, and after passing the Piazchal Pass and the northern ridges, reach East Lezoon and then West Lezoon. Traversing the whole ridge and its peaks is usually done in one full day and requires a moderate level of mountaineering ability. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is milder and the vegetation of the area is at its most beautiful. For responsible nature travel, visitors are advised to collect their litter, respect natural habitats and avoid lighting fires at high altitudes, so that this sensitive ecosystem is preserved.
