Chal Nakhjir Cave, Limestone cave system in Delijan County, Iran
The cave extends across seven floors with a ten-meter-wide entrance and contains multiple halls featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and crystalline formations throughout its passages.
Discovered in 1989 during water investigations by Delijan Water Organization, the cave formed through tectonic activity over 70 million years in the third geological period.
The name combines 'Chal', meaning pit, and 'Nakhjir', referring to hunting grounds, reflecting the traditional hunting practices near Takht Mountain.
Over 1000 meters of illuminated pathways guide visitors through accessible sections of the cave, leading to various halls including Sofre-ye Arous and the Lake Hall.
The cave contains a 70-meter-deep lake with only 400 square meters explored, while natural limestone deposits create stone formations resembling eagles and turtles.
