Towers of Silence
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
It is worth arriving 1-2 hours before sunset, because the orange light falling on the desert and the towers creates an almost mystical atmosphere. The morning hours are also good, as there are fewer visitors and the temperature is still bearable.
Tips anggaran
The entrance fee is 200,000 Iranian rials (approx. 1-2 USD), which is a very small expense. There is no free day, but the ticket price includes a short briefing at the information center.

Fakta cepat: Según el ritual funerario zoroástrico, los cuerpos eran expuestos a los buitres en esta elevación. En las torres construidas en el siglo VI ya no se realizan ceremonias, pero el espíritu del lugar sigue siendo igual de fuerte.
Sorotan: En el interior de las torres no hay nada aterrador ni ningún elemento arquitectónico espectacular. Lo que se puede sentir en la cima de la colina es el silencio total y esa sabiduría de 2500 años de que la muerte no significa el final de la vida, sino el regreso a la naturaleza.
Tips orang dalam
- Bring water and a hat with you, because there is no shade on the hilltop and the desert sun can be relentless.
- Do not just look at the towers, but also walk around the hill, from where a stunning panorama opens up to the city and the desert.
- Local pilgrims often leave small offerings at the base of the towers. Do not take them or touch them.
- It is worth spending 10 minutes in the small museum at the entrance, because the exhibited objects help understand the ritual process.
