Jangalak Waterfall

Jangalak Waterfall is one of the natural and tourist attractions of Tehran Province. It lies in an unspoiled area with a pleasant climate in the east of Damavand County. The waterfall is located in the Ruhafza neighbourhood and the Gorobar Valley, about 7 kilometres from the centre of Damavand. The area around Jangalak Waterfall is full of sturdy willow trees and a river rich in water, which create a pleasant, delightful atmosphere and make it a good spot for lovers of nature tourism and mountaineering.

Jangalak Waterfall is about 35 metres high. The rock walls around it, together with the full-flowing river and ancient willow, walnut and juniper trees, create a scenic setting for nature lovers. Some of these trees, with trunks more than 14 metres in diameter, are several centuries old. Besides the main waterfall, several smaller waterfalls flow in the side branches of the valley, adding variety to the landscape. The Jangalak trail, which passes beside the full-flowing rivers, offers visitors unspoiled and charming nature, and along the way you can enjoy beautiful views of the valley and the mountains.

The waterfall is reached via the Dasht-e Mazar route towards the Gorobar Gorge. After about 3 hours of walking from the town of Damavand, crossing the river and the Valiran orchards, you will reach the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the weather is pleasant, the water is plentiful and the landscape is green. To protect the area's pristine ecosystem, it is recommended to stop only at designated places along the footpath and to avoid leaving any litter, so that the vegetation and nature of the area are not damaged.
