Amjak Cave

Amjak Cave is located in Markazi Province, near the town of Tafresh and the village of Ahmadabad. The cave lies inside Amjak Mountain, and thanks to its unique geographic setting and geological features, it has become one of the region's most attractive natural sights. The name "Amjak" comes from Turkish and means "breast." The name refers to two natural stalactites (icicle-like formations) beneath the mountain, which have formed over time as water dripped from the limestone ceiling. These two formations hang from the ceiling in the shape of breasts, which is why both the mountain and the cave are called Amjak.

Amjak Cave has a limestone structure and four main chambers decorated with beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. The cave entrance is a 12-metre wall, and entering it requires technical equipment and caving experience. Once inside, there are steep slopes, rock walls and natural pools of water, and passing through them demands care and skill. At the far end of the cave is a bat habitat, and some sections of the cave remain unexplored.

To reach Amjak Cave, drive from the town of Tafresh towards the village of Ahmadabad. After reaching the village, a dirt track continues towards Amjak Mountain. The best time to visit the cave is spring and summer, when the weather is more favourable. When visiting the cave, we strongly recommend going with a local guide or professional cavers and using suitable equipment.
