Chalus Road (Road 59) is one of the most beautiful roads (and at some points dangerous because of the mountainous terrain) in Chalus, a suburb of Tehran, the Iranian capital.
It's a good twisting asphalt road which also connects the city of Karaj with Tehran. It displays a variety of sceneries from green to snow clad surroundings to rocky mountains in the north.
For the inhabitants of Tehran, Chalus is a seaside resort only three hours away from the capital. A seaside resort with beautiful forests.
For the foreign tourist its contrast is surprising. There is also a beautiful mountain road with deep gorges, an artificial lake and the possibility of excursions in the Alma Kuh , the highest mountain complex in the Alborz range.
