This cable car overlooks the city of Lahijan, allowing you to observe the entire city and the green nature of the region from above. The operating hours of Ahraar Cable Car in Lahijan are from 8 am to 8 pm. Due to its large backup generators, there is an assurance that the power supply will never be cut off, making it a completely safe and reliable mode of transportation. The area is equipped with private parking, an amusement park, and taxi services. On certain days of the year, especially during festivals or national holidays, celebratory events are held here. To reach the cable car, you can easily follow the clear and marked path to Bam-e Sabz.
The Lahijan region offers a variety of natural attractions, including the Sheitan Kuh Waterfall, vast tea plantations, lush green mountains, the Sheykhanbar area, the international Amir Kalaye Wetland, Lahijan Pool, and the Sustan Wetland. Due to the proximity of the cable car to the tea plantations, visitors can also explore these areas and directly purchase tea from local farmers. Lahijan is known as the most important center for tea cultivation and production in Iran, and its aroma and taste are famous among Iranians. Lahijan has also been one of the most significant and oldest parts of Gilan throughout history. Its geographical location in the heart of the Gilan region and its climatic conditions have attracted attention over the years. Until the Safavid era, it was the only point in Gilan that could be referred to as a city. In addition to nature exploration and cable car rides, Lahijan offers historical attractions such as Akbarieh Mosque, the Tea History Museum (Kaashef al-Sultan Mausoleum), the Brick Bridge, Jameh Mosque, Golshan Bathhouse, and the historical shrine of Sheikh Zahed Gilani.
