Discovery History
By the year 1988, in the Chalnkhjir area, people who went to the area to collect medicinal herbs and hunts, heard the sound of a horrible noise in the cave wall, and they did not get close to the area. On the mountain where the cave is located, there are traces of the old cave that has not been left of the ceiling and walls. The Chalnkhjir Cave was discovered by the Water Organization of Delijan in late 1988 in an explosion near its mouthpiece.
For the first time in 1988, a cave called Kamran Soleimani,he went up to a depth of 500 meters, but was forced to return because of the ending of the yarn. A year later, in 1989, three cavemen entered the cave to discover more. The Chalnkhajir Cave was registered in 2005 by the Heritage Cultural Organization (No. 13814) in the national Iranian book List.
