Hidden Cave Life in Iran’s Zagros Mountains | Collecting Firewood & Cooking Over Fire

Experience Hidden Cave Life in Iran’s Zagros Mountains as Tahmourth, Roya, Diana, and little Samyar begin another day of real family life inside a natural mountain cave. The day begins with Tahmourth, Roya, Diana, and Samyar waking up inside the cave and preparing for another cold and demanding day in the mountains. One of the most important tasks of the day is collecting firewood. Roya leaves the cave and travels into the rugged Zagros Mountains to gather dry firewood needed to keep the family warm and prepare their food. Her journey takes her through steep, narrow, rocky, and difficult mountain paths where careful movement is essential. Carrying firewood back from the mountains requires real physical effort and is an important part of daily life for a family living far from modern facilities. The collected wood will be used to keep the cave warm and provide the fire needed for traditional cooking. After returning to the cave, the family continues with their daily responsibilities, including caring for and protecting their chickens. The chickens are an important part of their simple mountain lifestyle, so the family makes sure they are safe and cared for around the cave. Tahmourth and Roya then prepare the cave for cooking and warmth by arranging the firewood and lighting a traditional open fire inside the natural cave. The fire quickly becomes the center of the family’s activities, providing warmth inside the cave while also creating the heat needed to prepare their meal. The family begins preparing a traditional local food called Berko, a dish from their local mountain tradition. Tahmourth and Roya carefully prepare the dough and work it by hand as part of the traditional Berko preparation process. The dough is prepared step by step and then cooked on a flat pan over the open fire inside the cave. The combination of handmade dough, a hot pan, wood fire, and traditional cooking techniques creates an authentic picture of local food preparation in the Zagros Mountains. Diana also watches and learns about the traditional cooking process, giving her an opportunity to become familiar with the food and skills that are part of her family’s mountain lifestyle. Throughout the day, Tahmourth and Roya continue caring for Diana and little Samyar, making sure the children stay warm, comfortable, and safe inside the cave. They also prepare hot tea over the fire and spend time together as a family. Despite the hard work, difficult mountain paths, cold weather, and simple living conditions, there are many happy moments inside the cave as Tahmourth, Roya, Diana, and Samyar share food, tea, warmth, and time together. From waking up inside the natural cave and traveling through difficult mountain terrain to collect firewood, to caring for the chickens, lighting the fire, keeping the cave warm, preparing the dough, making traditional Berko on a flat pan, cooking over an open fire, making tea, and caring for Diana and Samyar, every part of this episode shows the authentic reality of Hidden Cave Life in Iran’s Zagros Mountains.
