Kahak Cave

Kahak Cave is located in Qom Province, about 86 km south of the city of Qom and 55 km west of Delijan, near the village of Kahak. This limestone cave begins with a structure resembling a vertical well, then opens into chambers with huge formations and columns; some stalactites have been recorded at up to 14 meters long. The temperature inside the cave stays steady between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius, making it a good destination for a summer visit.

To enter, visitors must first descend about 8 meters through a small circular opening roughly 70 centimeters in diameter, using ropes and caving equipment. The roughly 350-meter route through the cave includes a series of large platforms and drops of 10 to 20 meters. At the end, a chamber with a pool of clear water and marble-like formations awaits visitors.

The cave is reached via the Qom–Isfahan road, taking the exit toward Kahak and then continuing along a dirt track to the entrance. Visiting this cave without professional equipment and an experienced guide is not recommended. The best time to visit is the warm months of the year, especially summer.
