Yakh Morad Cave in Gachsar can be considered as an exciting destination for a one-day trip since it is only 65 kilometers far from Tehran. The cave is located near Azadbar Village and Kohneh Deh Village in Alborz. To reach the cave from the village, you should walk about half hour on a low slope, and then half an hour's light climbing. Although the cave can be visited in all months of the year, the best time to visit is in March and April. In this two month, raining waters drowning into the cave creates thousands of icicles throughout the cave. The reflection of light in icicles create unique views that cannot be found in other caves. The existence of icicles in most of the seasons is considered to be the wonders of the cave. According to what is said, in the past, people gave particular respect to this cave because they believed that if someone eats from the icicles, their wishes come true until next year. The origin name of the cave also comes from this fact, since “Morad” means wish and “Yakh” means ice.
