Kuh-e Naz (Persian: کوه ناز, also romanized Naz) is a mountain in the Kahar massif of the central Alborz, in Alborz Province, Iran. One of the Iranian four-thousanders, it rises to 4,108 metres (13,478 ft) and has a topographic prominence of about 974 metres (3,196 ft), making it one of the more prominent summits of the range.[1][2]
Geography
Naz is bounded on the south by the Chalus-road valley and the Karaj River and on the north by the Taleqan district, and its ridge connects to neighbouring summits including Kahar.[2] It lies within the Central Alborz Protected Area.[2]
Climbing
The main route ascends the southern Siader ridge from the village of Kalvan, off the Karaj–Chalus road, passing a shelter at about 3,200 metres (10,500 ft); the round trip is roughly 21 kilometres (13 mi) and the climb, though non-technical, is long and a serious undertaking in winter.[2] A ridge traverse linking Naz with the neighbouring Kahar is a popular outing.[2]
