Photos: Khoda-Afarin natural bridge

MNA | Pantea Nikzad: Khoda-Afarin mountain pass is one of the most dangerous ones crossed by Iranian nomads in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province in the countrys south-west. Khoda-Afarin means Created by God in Persian. Its a dangerous, hard-to-pass route navigated by nomads in Gazestan region. Khoda-Afarin is in fact a bridge, a natural passage made by mountain drift on the roaring river of Bazoft, where the water amazingly disappears under the huge rocks all of a sudden. Its steep slope and narrowness makes this pass very dangerous. The slightest mistake causes the livestock to go berserk and fall off the precipices. The women and children cross the rivers calmer parts along with the large cattle using Balam, also called Kalak or Sini; some type of traditional boat made of musk.
