Historical records suggest that before the construction of the Indian Temple Of Fire in Surakhani in the late 17th century, locals revered this site due to the perceived mystical ‘seven holes with eternal flames’.

Yanar Dag (Fire Mountain) - Yanar Dag is distinguished as a natural gas fire that burns endlessly on a slope on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea close to Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital. Azerbaijan is often referred to as ‘the Land of Fire’. The flames surge 3 metres (9.8 ft) from a thin stratum of porous sandstone.

Good Overview of Geological Sights - My tour guide, Fahad, was very informative and nice. He always opened the car door for me. I was not expecting a ride in an old Soviet taxi to the mud volcanoes. It felt like being on a dusty safari ride. Lunch was decent, a good place to try a variety of local foods.
