It is about 29 km (18 mi) south of Chalus and 22 km (14 mi) southeast of Kelardasht, and about 119 km (74 mi) north of Tehran's city center, connected to Tehran and Chalus via the Chalus Road.[5] Due to the location of the city, it attracts many tourists each year from all parts of Iran, but especially from Tehran.
