Tangeh Savashi is a popular tourist attraction in Iran. Located 15 kilometers north-west of Firouzkouh in Tehran Province, it is a mountain pass narrow of the Alborz range. The narrow gorge has been created by a year round stream of water originating from a series of waterfalls upstream.

Until recently the area was populated by various wildlife and the Qajar king Fath Ali Shah maintained a hunting lodge there. To commemorate his hunts, Fath Ali Shah ordered the carving of a relief in the mid way point of the pass. The remains of a Qajar guard tower also remain at the top of one of the mountain passes.
