Chahkouh
Chahkooh Canyon in Qeshm Island is one of the most attractive landmarks that we recommend you to visit. It is one of the seven wonders in Qeshm Island where there are rocks and natural statues that are shaped through time. Its sky at night is also a wonder itself.
About Chahkooh Canyon
Chahkooh Canyon is located in the east of Qeshm Island. With a hundred meter depth, Chahkooh Canyon is just another world in the eye of its visitors. It used to be called The Holy Valley as it acted like water storage when it was raining and water was of special sacredness.
Attractions in Chahkooh Canyon
The very first interesting things you can see in Chahkooh Canyon are natural statues, each in a breathtaking shape. You are free to let your imaginations fly and see the statues the way you like. Tall walls guard you against the real world outside and help you realize that you are staying away from what is outside. These walls cause the low light in the canyon as the beautiful sky is somehow covered due to the less than half a meter distance between the two walls.
Shells on the walls indicate that Chahkooh Canyon used to be underwater someday. When walking in this majestic canyon, you cannot resist moving further. You will see a new scene with each step that you take. Do not forget to take your camera with you to take awesome photos as a memory of your exploration.
If you are a rock climber, Chahkooh Canyon is where you can enjoy climbing rocks. Some untouched places are only possible to see by rock climbing. Needless to say, you should not try rock climbing if this will be your first time. You should also make sure that a tour guide accompanies you because you cannot use your mobile phone if you get lost or injured due to the lack of facilities regarding phone cables.
