ATESHGAH – “FIRE TEMPLE”
Azerbaijan is one of few places on earth, where even today you can find the preserved elements of the cult of fire and the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism. These places, where oil runs out of the ground and natural gas breaks through with burning torches, always attracted fire worshipers from all over the world.
Baku, its oil, burning earth, has been known far beyond its borders since ancient times. In the written sources of the Middle Ages, related to Baku, it is consistently mentioned about “eternal lights”, located in its vicinity. Byzantine Paniysky Prisk wrote about them one of the first at the beginning of the V century, describing the city of the Caucasian Albania, he referred to the area where flame rises from an underwater rock. The Arab historian al-Balazuri in 754 also reported about oil and Shirvan salt. Caravans arrived here for oil from all over the Middle East.
The official religion in the states emerged in the VII century BC, such as Mannea and Media, was Zoroastrianism, the spread of which was related to spontaneously flammable oil and gas sources. That is why such monument as Ateshgah temple has survived on its territory to today.
Ateshgah Fire Temple is located within 30 kilometers from Baku center, in the south-eastern suburb of Surakhani village on Absheron Peninsula. There was a sanctuary of Zoroastrian fire-worshipers, who came here to bow to sacred fire. It is assumed that this first shrine dates to the beginning of the Common Era. After the Arab had conquest Azerbaijan and Baku, and the population had adopted Islam, the fire temple was destroyed. Many Zoroastrians, who declined Islam, had to leave to India. The history of fire-worship continued there. Many years passed before trade and the Silk Road linked the fire-worshipers with this sacred shrine again. Fire worship in Surakhani resumed after the XV century, when economic and cultural relations with India were being developed. As the sources certify, the arrival of Hindu pilgrims was noted already in the XVII century, they came to bow to the sacred fire.

Zhongar-Alatau
The youngest and most attractive site. Like a magnet, the Zhongar-Alatau National Park attracts tourists with its uncharted and beautiful wild nature.
Before, this was a closed territory, and one needed special permits from the border command post to visit it. Today, due to the creation of a national park here and simplification of the border regime, these protected areas are finally open for visiting.
The park is located approximately 440 kilometers away from the city of Almaty, in the direction of Taldykorgan, within the borders of 3 districts – Alakol, Aksu and Sarkand.
Overall, there are 5 natural parks across the territory of the Almaty region, but the Zhongar-Alatau park is the youngest.
It was created after the merger of a number of forest districts, and has a total territory of more than 356 thousand hectares.
