The mountain is burning, the mountain is always burning(Ramhormoz, Khuzestan province)

Tash Kooh on the side road between Midwood and Ramhormoz that went to Abolfars, it was worthwhile to tilt the route and walk for kilometers on the side roads in the middle of the night to be right next to it at midnight on Nowruz 1400 at 12 o'clock at night. And the smell of sulfur pervades our being.

The fire from the gases inside the earth is the fetus that has been burning for years.

We had started from Karun 4 dam not so early in the morning, and after touring the route and walking the dumb torpedo and dinner, we were tired and sleepy in the twisting rain on the twist of Bagh-e-Malek and Midwood road until we reached Abolfars exit. We reached the left. He is really thankful that we do not get lost anywhere with mobile maps, otherwise in the heart of dark nights and unmarked roads, it was not clear where we would end up.. The mountain was also visible in open street maps and Maps.me software, and we followed the route offline.

The amount of gas emission varies from place to place, some parts of the flames are larger.
The blue color of the flame was interesting

I had never traveled this route during the day and it is a pity that we did not see anything from the surrounding nature, which is a hillside.. One of the important obstacles we encountered on Abolfars Road was the Yellow River, which was only interesting for its long metal bridge because nothing could be found in the black depths of the valley..

There is also a natural spring spring near this area, which we postponed our visit to other trips.
Companions returning to the car

After many turns on the narrow road, we finally reached the destination on the left, and the gathering of several cars that were dancing and dancing in front of the mountain of fire, woke us up.. It was amazing. Small flames were burning all over the hill, and the smell of sulfur filled the air. There were some interesting young boys who came by motorbike and set fire to a tent facing the mountain.

The smell of sulfur did not make much of a presence near the flames. We were there for about half an hour and were about to return to the road.

We had come a long way, but we continued on our way. We had to go back and take the road to Shushtar. Shabman's home was the village of Naft Sefid.

No Description

some notes:

  • The mountain peaks appear in the dark, so be sure to plan to visit in the dark.
  • The road is completely asphalt and passes by the mountain. It can be said that there is no walking.
  • In general, Tash Kooh is at a point between the two cities of Ramhormoz and Baghmalek. Its side road with a length of 15 km branches from Ramhormoz-Baghmalek road. Khadijeh, Mamatin and Gonbad Laran are among the villages along the route for 15 km.
  • There are no facilities next to this geotourism attraction and it may be better in this regard because it has preserved its natural face..
