Orazan Waterfall

Orazan Waterfall is located in Alborz Province, in Taleqan County, 12 kilometres north of the town of Taleqan, in the heart of the historic and water-rich village of Orazan. The village is a symbol of the blend of nature and culture: around it you will find an ancient mound some 4,000 years old, several permanent springs, and imamzadehs (shrines) of great spiritual value. Orazan Waterfall stands out in the heart of the Central Alborz mountain range, and thanks to its abundant water resources and unspoiled scenery it has become one of the region's most important nature tourism attractions.

The waterfall can be reached by a short walk of about 10 minutes from the village, and with its roaring water and rocky backdrop it creates a delightful view. In the high-water seasons the waterfall flows with greater force, and it is surrounded by shrubs and walnut orchards. Thanks to the permanent springs, the area stays well watered and green even in hot, dry summers, which gives the village of Orazan its distinctive character.

To reach the waterfall, simply drive from Taleqan towards the village of Orazan, and after about 10 kilometres of mountain road by car, take a short walk to the side of the waterfall. The best time to visit Orazan Waterfall is spring and early summer, when nature is at its greenest and the water flow is at its peak. During your visit, please follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: do not leave any litter in nature, refrain from lighting fires, and respect the vegetation of the area.
