Mount Takht-e Suleyman

About

Takhte Soleyman or Takht-e Suleyman is a mountain in the Takht-e Suleyman Massif, Alborz mountain range, north of Iran. In Persian language, Takhte Soleyman means Solomon's Throne (seat). In August 1931, the British explorer Freya Stark attempted to reach the summit of Takht-i-Suleiman, and documented her travels in 'The Valleys of the Assassins and other Persian Travels'.
