Vashian Waterfall

Vashian Waterfall, also known as the Cheshmeh Goosh or Cheshmeh Goosheh Waterfall, is located in the Vashian District of Poldokhtar County in Lorestan Province. It is one of the tiered, seasonal waterfalls of the region. The tallest tier of the waterfall reaches about 30 metres, and thanks to its stepped structure and distinctive natural setting, it is considered one of the rare and most worthwhile sights in Lorestan. The surrounding vegetation includes native species such as van (terebinth, or saqez), wild almond, tragacanth shrubs, astragalus (gavan), oak and resinous trees, whose combination of medicinal and ornamental uses adds beauty to the landscape of the area.

The tiered structure of the waterfall and the formation of several natural pools create a captivating sight, and the sound of water pouring over the rocky cliffs and the winding course of the valley makes for a spectacular scene. The area offers nature lovers and families a good opportunity for easy walking, swimming and photography. It is recommended to visit in early spring (Bahman to Farvardin) to see the waterfall at its most beautiful, with the best water flow.

The waterfall can be reached via the village of Vashian or Cheshmeh Goosh. The mountain footpath is relatively flat and suitable for an easy walk, taking about 20 to 30 minutes. In rainy seasons and when the water is high, the path may be slippery, so it is essential to bring suitable hiking or walking shoes. Visitors are also encouraged to act responsibly, collect their rubbish and keep the environment clean, helping to preserve the region's ecosystem and keep it sustainable.
