The people of Alisadr village had realized the existence of Ali Sadr Cave since many years ago and used its water, but this cave was first visited and excavated in 1963 by 14 members of the mountaineering group.
Due to the narrowness of the cave, which was about 50 cm, only professional mountaineers could hardly enter the cave, until 1353, Abdullah Hajiloo, the head of the Hamedan Mountaineering Board, with the help of locals, opened the cave to a width of 5 meters. And opened a height of 3 meters, then resumed the necessary measures to visit this historic cave, such as retrieving the route, lighting and other items, and finally in 1976, it became possible for the public to visit Ali Sadr Cave.
