I had one more booking with the company. We visited firstly to Gate at Aluyev center on our way to fire temple. It was very nice and great building. Lovely historical information in inside and car collection in ground floor. Fire mountain it was very small than out expectations but it was worthy to see unique warming area.

Fire Temple was a fascinating historical site for me. It was a Zoroastrian temple and used as Caravansarai before times - on the historic silk road, especially for Indian travellers, worshippers and merchants. Indian motifs can be seen on some of the structures. It is located on a gas field and the natural gas flames add to its intrigue. But, from 1883 natural gas finished on there. After temple we visited to Fire Mountain. Yanar Dagh is, literally, a hill on fire. Here was the natural gas flames all over the hill. It was unique experience for me, I never seen before such as this thing. I definetely recommend to anyone to visit here. Tom.Locc November 12, 2019

When the guide Emin informed us about the Fire temple and Fire mountain, we decided on a night to think about the activities what we can do. We went to fire temple, but my friends are really fun lovers, that's why we didn't stay a lot. But, when we reach to Burning mountain, all my friends said that: "WOOOOOOOW". It was really nice. They maked hastagh as well above the mountain, it was good for us to share on social media. Definetely go there!!! maheshpkin November 17, 2019
