[7] At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 11,921 in 3,361 households,[8] when it was in Kelardasht District[c] of Chalus County.

[4] The city comprises 5 districts (Hasankif, Lahoo, Kordichal, Valbal and Rudbarak, Mazandaran).

[11] Originally a farming area, in recent years much of its land was sold in small lots to build numerous villas[12] which are occupied by summer visitors trying to escape the heat of Tehran and points further south.

Its attractions include Alamkuh Mountain (the second tallest peak in Iran at 4850m), Abbasabad Road, Valasht lake and cooler climate.
