Geography
[edit | edit source]Location
[edit | edit source]Alasht is isolated by surrounding mountains, which gives it a cooler climate than most regions of the province.[citation needed]
Natural resources

In addition, caves in and around Alasht are rich with minerals, mostly anthracite coal reserves.[citation needed]

Winter in the village is particularly harsh, causing most of the inhabitants to move to warmer areas for the season. However, the rainfall in the village is similar to the rest of the province, with approximately 593 millimeters of precipitation per year.[citation needed]
