Ateshgah is called &#8220;Ca yuvr ciga&#8221; (place of fire) in Khinalig language. It is considered sacred by the local population because natural gas is produced here. Also, since ancient times Ateshgah has attracted fire worshipers from India. Here the fire burns day and night. Those who come to the temple cut their sacrificial animals in the village of Khinalig, bring their meat to Ateshgah and cook it over the flames that come out of the ground. Then they distribute the meat to the people who come to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ateshgah peak is located below &#8220;Heydar&#8221; and &#8220;Ataturk&#8221; peaks, and the road to those peaks passes through Ateshgah peak. If it is not possible to spend the night in the camp located at an altitude of 2900 meters during the trip to &#8220;Heydar&#8221; and &#8220;Atat\u00fcrk&#8221; peaks, tourists go down to Ateshgah camp and spend the night there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities Available<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hiking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guide services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mealing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ateshgah peak is located at an altitude of about 2500 meters above sea level, 4-5 kilometers from Khinalig village.
