Pasabag or Monk’s Valley is filled with fairy chimneys formed of a cap, neck, and supporting body made due to volcanic activity and erosion. This natural wonder feels like fairies really made it as it is quite striking. Another historical point about these is that monks hollowed out some chimneys to hide here to distance themselves from the world.
