When autumn paints Darakeh: A silent symphony of color in northern Tehran

Autumn in the alley gardens of Darakeh feels like stepping into a painting—one brushed with gold, amber, and soft shades of fading green.

As the season settles in, the old pathways of this historic Tehran neighborhood transform into a living gallery of color. The trees spill their leaves over narrow trails, and every turn reveals a quiet beauty that feels both nostalgic and deeply serene.

Darakeh, already known as one of Tehran’s most beloved nature trails, takes on an entirely different character in autumn. The crisp air, the hush between the branches, and the warm palette of the season create a peaceful refuge for visitors seeking a moment away from the clamor of the city.

Here, in these winding garden-lined alleys, autumn is not just a season — it’s an experience.
