Zinegan is a very beautiful cave in Ilam. Actually it is a strait or as some people call it; an open cave. The temperature difference between inside the cave and outside is surprisingly so great that its second name is Paradise Cave.
In summer the difference reaches 20 to 30 °C. The cave is said to be 6 km long with several halls, vestibules and many stalactites and stalagmites. There is plenty of water in the cave that in some parts you have to walk through water and get wet.

In the winter of 1993 while working in a mine, workers found a skeleton of a white haired and bearded man. He was the first of the 6 natural Persian mummies found up to now. He was found in Chehrabad salt mines in Zanjan Province.
The skeleton was damaged in the mining works. He had been 37 years old and 175 cm high when died. He had long hair and beard and a gold earring in his left ear. Archeologists believed he was 1700 years old and belonged to the beginning of Sassanid Empire. Despite this exceptional finding, mining continued till the second Salt man was found in 2004, accidently again.

Shamxal or Shamkhal, the paradise of Xurasan

There are a lot of stories about Darake and Darband (two famous places in north of Tehran which Tehrani people used to go for dining, mountain climbing and smoking Ghalioon or Shisha.). Well, they are connected to the capital Tehran and so we are fed up with hearing their name too much.
They ARE beautiful indeed, but actually there is another special place about 1000 km far from that Darband and Darake can't even compete. Fortunately/unfortunately few Iranians know it. Yes, it is Shamkhal, the paradise in Iran, in Khorasan.
