Course


The Shahrood originates on the slopes of the Takht-e Suleyman Massif at 4850 m. (36°22′N 50°58′E).[1] The Taliqan and Alamut rivers conjoin to form the Shahrood river.[2] The Alamut river, the northern tributary, starts near the summit of Alam-Kuh, the second highest peak in Iran, and flows through a steep gorges.[3]: 42–43  The Shahrood then flows westward through the southern Alborz mountain range to its confluence with the Sefid River. It is a right-hand tributary of the Sefid River, which then flows north through the Alborz into the Caspian Sea.

The Shahrood is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long.[1]
