Zākht

Zakht is a small settlement in the southern Jebal Barez country, near Mardehek and the valleys east of Anbarabad. The hills descend towards the warmer country of the Halil basin, while the higher ridges rise behind them. A fort known as Malekabad-e Zakht is among the old landmarks of the district. Its presence recalls a landscape in which fortified places stood among the villages and mountain approaches of southern Kerman.
