Osun Waterfall

Osun Waterfall is one of the most outstanding natural attractions in Tehran Province. It lies in the Shemiranat area, in the Darband Valley, close to Pasghaleh, Shirpala and the fifth station of the Tochal Gondola. Located in the heights north of the capital, the waterfall is fed by snowmelt from the Tondsi highlands. The hike to it usually takes between two and three hours for tourists and climbers. With its mountain views, diverse vegetation and pleasant air, the natural beauty of the Osun area attracts large numbers of visitors every year.

Osun Waterfall offers a combination of a rushing flow and a distinctive rocky backdrop. The sound of the water in the heart of the valley, among dense orchards and year-round springs, soothes the spirit of mountain climbers and nature lovers. The route to the waterfall passes by the Osun Hotel, and charming orchard lanes, especially in autumn, spread a scene full of warm colors before your eyes.

To get there, simply reach Darband or Pasghaleh and take one of two routes: one beside the Darband cafés and the other the chairlift route (Tele-Sizh). After you reach the fork leading to the Osun Hotel, a walk of about 10 to 15 minutes along a footpath brings you close to the waterfall and its year-round springs. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the water flows more powerfully and the autumn scenery is stunning. Please remember to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as collecting your litter, not lighting fires and protecting the vegetation.
