Shahrood or Shah-Rud (, literally meaning The great river or the river of the king), also translated as Shah River, is a river of northern Iran.
Course
The Shahrood originates on the slopes of the Takht-e Suleyman Massif at 4850 m. (). The Taleqan and Alamut rivers conjoin to each other in the village of Shirkou form the Shahrud river. The Alamut river, the northern tributary, starts near the summit of Alam-Kuh, the second highest peak in Iran, and flows through a steep gorges. The Shahrood then flows westward through the southern Alborz mountain range to its confluence with the Sefid River. It is a right-hand tributary of the Sefid River, which then flows north through the Alborz into the Caspian Sea.
The Shahrood is about long.
