Alamut Geographic Region (
Tati/, Alamut) is a region in
Iran including
western and
eastern parts in the western edge of the
Alborz (Elburz) range, between the dry and barren plain of
Qazvin in the south and the densely forested slopes of the
Mazandaran province in the north. Alamut is a
Tat inhabited region. Starting from
Qazvin toward Alamut, passing through the first range of hills, curvatures, forms, scars, wrinkles are significant themes in nature's composition of this area. Two big citadels of Ismailis,
Lambsar and
Alamut castles, are in this area.
Hassan-i Sabbah and his
Hashshashin controlled the area for many years.
