Chelam Zarrin Gol Waterfall

Chelam Zarrin Gol Waterfall is located in Golestan Province, in Aliabad-e Katul County, near the village of Zarrin Gol. It lies in a forested, foothill area and is part of a chain of beautiful, lesser-known waterfalls in this region. The surrounding landscape is made up of pristine, lush forests that create a soothing natural scenery.

Chelam Zarrin Gol Waterfall descends in steps, in five natural tiers, down tall, vertical rock faces. At the foot of each tier, a small pool of clear water has formed, adding to the beauty of the waterfall. Although the exact height of this multi-tiered waterfall has not been recorded, its stepped structure is clearly visible in the landscape, and this feature gives it a unique look. The route to the waterfall is an easy walk of 20 to 30 minutes, passing along a river and forest dirt tracks. To climb to the upper tiers, good physical fitness, suitable equipment and experience of mountain nature trips are recommended.

To reach this beautiful waterfall, first make your way to the town of Aliabad-e Katul in Golestan Province. From there, follow the road toward Zarrin Gol Rural District, and after passing through the village of Khak-e Pirzan, turn onto a side dirt road toward Dahaneh-ye Zarrin Gol. After parking your vehicle at a suitable spot, continue on foot for about 20 minutes, which will bring you to the Chelam waterfalls. The best time to visit this natural attraction is spring and early summer, when the region's nature is at its greenest and the waterfalls are at their fullest. Visitors must practise responsible nature tourism and strictly avoid littering, making noise, and damaging the vegetation and ecosystem of the area.
