Palang Darreh Waterfall

Palang Darreh Waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural sights in Mazandaran. It lies deep in the dense, unspoiled forests of Shirgah, in Savadkuh County. About 8 metres high, the waterfall sits in the heart of a lush, dreamlike valley, where a rushing river passes between tall, moss-covered trees and finally pours its water, with a rare gentleness, into a calm pool, creating a spectacular scene.

Palang Darreh Waterfall is an ideal destination for those who love hiking, photography and quiet moments in the forest. Although it is relatively easy to reach, the area remains pristine and untouched, offering a great chance for a different kind of experience in the nature of Mazandaran. To reach the waterfall, you need to follow a dirt road of about 13 kilometres, from beside the Shirgah iron bridge to the start of the forest. This route takes you into the Hyrcanian forests, where clear springs, towering trees, walls covered in velvety green moss and a rushing river keep you company. Below the waterfall there is a fairly deep pool, suitable for swimming and even for diving from the surrounding boulders, especially for experienced divers.

The waterfall can be reached via the Firuzkuh road. After crossing the White Bridge (Pol-e Sefid) and entering the town of Shirgah, follow the side road beside the iron bridge. After driving along the dirt road, you need to walk about 30 to 45 minutes through the forest to reach the waterfall. Visiting is free, but because there are no facilities along the way, it is strongly recommended that you bring the essential equipment and return before dark. We suggest planning your visit to this beautiful waterfall in spring or summer, so you can fully enjoy the pleasant weather and the natural beauty of the area.
