1. 5.0 Kal-e Jeni (5 reviews)
   - Most Bizzare place in the middle of Desert
   Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Canyons
   
   
   We camped in Kal-e Jeni for 1 night .one of most amazing and bizarre experiences you could possibly have. Very picturesque and authentic views. it has 30 minutes of simple hiking to reach to the water and the camp site. The river water is drinkable since it is underground water which comes from Ezmeyghan Village.you can hike simply to the end of valley in 1 hour. just a part of the pass the depth of water gets about 2-3 meters,but you can take the detour and walk on the side rocks. the water was not above my belly when i passed the water.You can also see Gabr houses dug in the valley when you get to the end of valley. If anyone wants to visit Kal-e Jeni, i strongly advice to also visit Ezmeyghan village which is about 5 km away from there. any questions, contact me in Instagram :Behnam.mh.1 See more..

   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   I remember when I was a kid and my dad took us to this castle when it was in ruins and dirty. But now its built up, clean, classy and so beautiful. Its a great and might be the TOP destination in Birjand. Its in the old part of town so you see a lot of mud brick houses. Inside of the castle you can get tea and/or coffee, snack and light foods. If you wanna go inside the columns, just don't wear high heeled shoes. I suggest sneakers. And in top of the castle you can see the city of Birjand from atop. See more..
