Iranian tourism officials are planning to build the world's longest aerial tramway on Dorfak Mountain in the country's northern province of Gilan.
“The 12.6 km aerial journey will offer a great opportunity to enjoy the unspoilt nature and forests,” said head of Iran's Exemplary Tourism Zones Organization Rahmatollah Ahmadi.
“Long cables will be used in building the tramway to offer non-stop service and provide passengers with a comfortable journey in VIP cabins,” he added.
The project will span an area of about 219 hectares in one of the most attractive tourist sites of Iran's northern region, CHTN reported.
Located near the city of Roudbar, Mount Dorfak is part of the Alborz mountain range, which stretches from the Armenian borders in the northwest to the southern end of the Caspian Sea.
Iran already has a number of aerial tramways, the longest of which is in the capital city of Tehran.
