Advar Waterfall

Advar Waterfall is one of the most valuable natural attractions of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. It lies west of Lordegan, near the village of Barez. The waterfall plunges about 60 to 70 metres down the cliffs of the Zagros and, beside the roaring Khersan River, creates a beautiful and tranquil landscape. The village of Barez is also of interest to travellers for its lovely nature and its history of several thousand years.

This is a cliff waterfall, where the water flows from a great height over the rocks of the Zagros. The waterfall is surrounded by mountain trails covered in pristine oak forest, which make it an excellent setting for photography and nature tourism. The difficult, rugged terrain around the waterfall has kept the place unspoiled and little known, preserving its natural appeal.

To reach Advar Waterfall, first travel to Shahrekord or Lordegan, then drive about 63 kilometres west of Lordegan towards the village of Barez. From the village onward, a mountain hiking trail begins, so suitable footwear and the necessary hiking equipment are essential. The best time to visit the waterfall is spring and early summer, when there is more water and the trails are safer. When visiting the area, please do not leave any litter in nature, stay on the established trail and avoid making noise in this pristine environment.
