Known as Martian mountains, the first thing that one sees is the layers upon layers of colours, amidst a stark and barren terrain. The mountains vary from a child’s height to hundreds of meters in height. Under a night sky, they gleamed in white exuding an extra terrestrial vibe. 

The history of these mountains dates back to 5 million years ago. Geologists have different accounts for the formation of these mountains. Some say they are a continuation of the Zagros mountain range, a range that ends in Pakistan, while others believe they had been buried under tons of soil in the past and have turned up with the passage of time.
