We hired a driver today to bring us around some spectacular historical sites around the desert city of Yazd. One of these is Chak Chak which is a Zoroastrian pilgrimage site.
To get here, we drove across a moonscape of craggy mountains which you can see in the distance here. The site is the source of a clear mountain spring and a tree reputed to be a thousand years old. There is one caretaker who lives here alone all year apart for the time of the Zoroastrian festival when the place is thronged with thousands of worshipers.
This is a view from inside the temple which we had to ourselves. It was completely peaceful and silent and made a lovely change to the noisy city sounds.
