Fire Temple and Fire Mountain Tour
Fire Temple and Fire Mountain Tour
With Private Fire Temple and Fire Mountain Tour you will find out why actually Azerbaijan is called land of fire with visiting 17th century fire temple and hill that literally burning 4 millenniums. For centuries, fire-worshipers from faraway countries, and even priests from India have searched for the fire and found it in Absheron and built their main temple here - Surakhani Atashgah. The burning of the foot of the mountain (Yanardagh) for a long time is the main nuance that attracts attention.
The most interesting thing is that the wind, rain and snow have not been able to extinguish this fire for 4,000 years.

Ateshgah - Fire Temple
Every tourist who enters the cellars can feel the wonders of this place. For example, as you enter 12 cells, you will see a very strange sight as you look at the flames burning in the dome of the four-storey building in the yard of Ateshgah. At this point, it seems to you that you are standing on a step of the flame. Or when you get to the 18th cell and stop there for a while, you hear strange sounds. It seems to someone that they are talking. Mixed voices are clearly heard, but they do not understand what they are saying.
