Katale Khor ( Katalekhor ) Cave Photo Gallery by Ali Majdfar at pbase.com

Katale Khor ( Katalekhor ) Cave

(غار کتله خور )Katale ( Catale ) Khor cave is located about 400 km west of Tehran, Iran, near the city of Zanjan. The cave was scientifically studied at 1984 and due to the results, formation of the cave referred to the Jurassic period (about 120 million years ago). The cave mostly contains lime stalactites and stalagmites and huge halls and corridors, mainly dry. Three levels of the cave have been explored so far and it is anticipated that unexplored levels exceeds to four. Currently, there are two visiting routes inside the cave, a 2 km long straight route for public visit and a 4 km long sport route for professionals. This cave at entry stages was residence of ancient people so that bones of about 80 people are still preserved. This gallery presents a tiny part of nature excellence and glamour in the " KataleKhor Cave ". Thanks for visiting

Estuve la semana pasada y realmente es impresionante ver cada una de las cavidades que al dia de hoy y a lo largo de los dos kilometros y medio de recorrido, sobre un total de 17 km del primer nivel (en total hay siete niveles, dos de ellos navegables y todavia no visitables) que hacen que esa visita sea una delicia para la vista.

i visit this cave recently, one of the most beutifull and largest caves in iran. your shots also very interesting. its distance from tehran about 4 hrs and have hotel and resturant near the cave.

Ron LaCroix		12-Aug-2009 10:39
Ali, you have done very well to capture this place. I have found shooting in caves very difficult due to generally low available light and my white balance is often very yellow. These are very attractive.

Monique Trempe		11-Jul-2009 19:39
Beautiful shot. This place seems to me unique and very interesting. Great work. V

Nice photos! I have been there to and I think it is also very impressive.

Guest		26-Aug-2008 15:18
For information of interested people: This beautiful cave is based in Zanjan province, north west of IRAN. It's believed that this dry cave is connected to Ali Sadr cave which is a watery one. Hurry up. Take a visa to Iran and have a look at this nice natural creature plus lots to see around like Soltanieh Tomb, the highest bricky tomb in the word and 3rd after ayasofia mosque and a church in Rome. hurry ... cheers

Hi Ali, I adore these outstanding images. You should really organise a public exhibition with printed copies of these images. Or do you intend to do this anyway? Or have you even already done it?

Hi evry body. I live in Zanjan. I went to this cave. That is very beautiful. I am not a photogerapher but I invite you to visit Zanjan's historical heritages like Soltanieh dome or Rakhtshuy-Khaneh Museum. Soltanieh dome is the largest bricky dome in the world! More information about Soltanieh dome:http://www.sultanieh.ir
