Join your guide for a concise four-hour tour starting at the meeting point. Explore Ateshgah, an ancient Zoroastrian temple adorned with a central altar where fire rituals were held atop a natural gas vent, creating a perpetual flame. Then, witness Yanardag, or "Burning Mountain," where a continuous flame erupts from a natural gas pocket, possibly burning for over 20,000 years, offering a fascinating glimpse into ancient natural wonders.
Itinerary
-
Atasgah and Yanardagh
- Meet your tour guide at the pre-decided location to begin the tour.
- Ateshgah is an ancient Zoroastrian temple of flame built by the Indian fire-worshippers community in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the middle of the courtyard sits an altar, the temple's centrepiece where fire rituals were observed. The altar is above the natural gas vent, igniting a large flame in the middle.
- Stop by Yanardag (“Burning Mountain”), a hill on the top of the natural gas pocket with continuous flame eruption. The fire has probably been burning for over 20,000 years at Yanardag.
