Hiking Alborz Mountains is in the wish lists of most travelers coming to Gileboom homestay.

The Alborz range skirts the south of the Caspian Sea, almost 900 km long, stretching from the Azerbaijan province in NW all around to the Khorasan province in the NE, creating a natural barrier between the dry and hot plains southwards and the green Alpine forests northwards. Its width ranges from 60 to 160 km; and the range is divided into Eastern, Central and Western Alborz. Guilan province is located on the West part of Alborz Range.
