Las Posht Waterfall – known locally as “Las,” meaning “beneath the rock” – is located near the village of Lapondan in Shaft County, Gilan Province. This beautiful, unspoiled waterfall lies deep in the mountain forests and is roughly 15 to 20 metres high. The difficult access route and dense vegetation have placed it among the province's lesser-known but much-loved attractions.

The natural structure of Las Posht Waterfall takes the form of stone steps, and the water flowing over the rocks creates a lovely sight. In the pools downstream, you can cool your feet on hot days and enjoy the freshness of the water. The vegetation of this area includes species such as beech, hornbeam, oak, mosses and medicinal plants, which create a lush and pleasant setting. The difficult access and the lack of developed roads for vehicles have kept its environment pristine and clean, offering visitors the peace of nature.

To get there, head to the village of Lapondan, then walk for about 30 to 45 minutes along a forest trail and footpath. The best time to visit is late spring to early summer, when the water flow is full and the forest air is pleasant. We recommend wearing suitable hiking shoes, carrying water with you, and taking your rubbish back with you so that this valuable area stays clean.
