Katale khor cave:<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 150 kilometers south of the city of Zanjan there is one of the most beautiful caves all around the world which dates back to 120 million years ago. Katale khor which was discovered around 67 years ago by some Iranian cavers has been a great tourist attraction since that time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many believe that the Katale khor means the mount of sun but we cannot but quite sure about that because some others believe it means the eater of sun. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is interesting that many cavers guess there should be a connection between this cave and Alisadr which must be around 100 kilometers. Alisadr is a water cave but Katale khor is completely dry but the point is that both of them were born at the same time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stalactites inside of Katale khor show you different shapes such as groom, sleeping lion and hound and so on which are the proof of the art of God. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not forget as a simple visitor you can just visit 3 kilometers and around 4 kilometers are dedicated to professional cavers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visiting Katale khor is visiting another aspect of beauty of God which has blossomed worldwide. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To visit Katale khor cave you should leave Zanjan towards west then south so the cave shows its signs to you. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
