Chak Chak Fire Temple, Yazd


The story goes that an Iranian princess escaped into these desert mountains and after throwing her staff at the cliff, life giving water began to "drip, drip" (chak chak) out.

In a desolate location on the mountainside, the four elements do indeed seem to coalesce perfectly within Chak Chak's fire temple.

A magical place, well worth the steep climb up. See also Ateshkadeh
