Visit of Chak Chak

To the north of Yazd is several hundred kilometers of desert with virtually no inhabitants. From the arid plains rise relatively high interesting mountains.
 

Most of the surrounding mountains are mesas, reminiscent a little of desert Wadi Rum.
 

The easiest way to get to Chak Chak is within an organized trip from Yazd. Head out deeper into the desert after seeing Kharanaq. From Kharanaq it is only about 35 kilometers to Chak Chak.
 

Along the way you'll see only miniature oasis lying under several hundred meters high almost vertical walls. The village Hamaneh lies below the mountain, which has nearly three thousand meters above sea level.
 

You finally come below vertical rock wall hiding this sacred site.
 

If you arrive by bus, the ascent of almost two hundred meters of altitude will await you. Shared taxi will save you nearly half of the ascent thanks to higher parking place.
 

The sanctuary itself is located in a small cave surrounded by greenery at the highest point of the strange, almost uninhabited town.
 

Interesting gilded doors lead to the shrine. Inside you will see the fires as the greatest symbol of Zoroastrianism.
