Tips for Visiting Atashgah Castle
- Check local opening status and permissions before visiting - the castle sits in a region where access rules can change and guided local knowledge is invaluable.
- Wear sturdy shoes: pathways around the castle are rocky and uneven, and slipperiness increases after rain.
- Photograph from the base as well as from higher terraces - the play of light across the fortress walls is different at each hour and early morning yields the clearest shadows.
