Take-off description
Atop of the rage crest overshadowing the northern suburb of Tehran. North West of the city,Good for learning. Take off are is flat and nicely taken care of, albeit a little dusty, as is the case with many Iranian official mountain sites.
Getting there
Ask for Shah-raan paragliding site from any taxi driver in Tehran and they'll take you there. Intersection of Simon-bolivar blvd. and Jannat-aabaad blvd. It's the most famous site of the city and the closes of course.
Comments
If you are new to the site take a moment to talk to the local pilots. Ask around and see if they still allow flight here as my information is from 2011 and law change every year. Make sure you go there on the weekends to be able to find a cheap shuttle van take takes you up the hill for minimal fare. ***Weekends in Iran are Thursday and Fridays****
