It is certainly not the easiest of places to get to but then getting there is half the fun and you will not be dissapointed. How anyone would have ever built such a large fortress in the middle of nowhere remains a mystery to me but obviously not to the Zoroastrians at the time. The location is large, still retains some detailed structures but it is the history of the fortress and it's location that give it it's charm and make it unforgetable. The staff is freindly, as nearly everyone in Iran invariably was in our travels there, but the facilities are a bit run down.
