Castle country between the Alborz and the Caspian
The technical detail for Alamut Valley has not been checked by a local pilot yet. Treat everything here as background reading, not as a site briefing. Fly with someone who knows the site.
Alamut is the valley of the fortresses — a long corridor on the southern side of the Alborz, walled by rock and stitched with terraced villages. It flies scenery as much as it flies air, and it is a strong argument for bringing a camera.
Editor’s note — fill from local knowledge, then set
verified: true.
This is a reference, and references get better by being corrected. If a season is wrong, a launch has moved, or a site is missing entirely, tell us — and if you can verify the technical data for a site, that is the most useful thing anyone can send.
