Kholeno

Kholeno rises to an elevation of 4,387 meters with two distinct peaks, featuring three main ridges that lead to the Sarkharsang and Varangroud valleys.

The mountain has served as a vital water source for the Karaj dam, contributing significantly to Tehran's water system through its seasonal lake formation.

Local mountaineering traditions center around the southern slopes near Lalan village, where generations of climbers have developed specific climbing techniques.

The optimal climbing season extends from late spring through early autumn, with the southern route from Lalan village providing the most accessible path.

The extreme northern face contains a permanent snow pit that transforms into Kholeno Lake during seasonal melting, creating a natural water reservoir.
