Chak Chak en Karanaq

In the year 637AD a Sassasian princess Nikbanuh fled to this site. Short of water she threw her staff at the cliff and water began dripping out.
Chak Chak means drip drip it's Irans most important holy pilgrimage site for people of the zoroastrian faith




















Kharanaq is a almost deserted village in the desert with a citadel constructed of mud-brick houses. It's intriguing to walk around in the small alleys. Due to the softness of the bricks the citadel is slowly turning into a ruin.

On friday I will spent the night there to look at the sky and have a full day of farsi lessons.
