In southeastern Iran, along the seashores of Makran Sea and the Indian Ocean lies a jewel of unknown beauties. A land whose four seasons is one and that is the beautiful spring. Land is full of wonders and a paradise of unknowns that enamors any visitor and tourist. I remember for the first time when I had a trip to this part of our infinite beautiful country, Iran, on my way near the city of Iranshahr, the nature around the road began to change as if I were about to enter a new land, and the more I got closer to Chabahar port the more attractive the nature became, and absorb eyes of any passer. I was drowned in the beauties of the roadside and I could not believe that such a diverse and attractive area exists in this corner of our beautiful Iran. Vegetation, camels on roadsides, and even the color of the soil and shapes of the mountains were astonishing to me.

Local people believe that when these springs spray mud it is a sign of grace and blessings from the skies and heaven. This Village Ancient Tis Village is located 5km northWestern Chabahar.
