Barghamad Waterfall

Barghamad Waterfall is a seasonal natural attraction in Sabzevar County, Razavi Khorasan Province. It lies about 30 kilometres southeast of the city of Sabzevar, along the Sabzevar–Esfarayen road. The waterfall is located near the village of Barghamad, and the access route begins at a fork in the road before the village of Bid. Despite the region's arid climate, Barghamad Waterfall is well known among locals and is regarded as a pleasant retreat for escaping the summer heat and for nature trips in the milder seasons.

The valley leading to the waterfall is adorned with lush walnut trees, which give the mountain route a special charm. To reach the waterfall, you first have to cross a shallow river and then hike lightly for about half an hour. This walk through unspoiled, peaceful nature is one of the highlights of a trip to the waterfall. The area has a fairly notable variety of plants and animals, offering nature lovers a good opportunity to discover its natural beauty.

Although there is no permanent river within Sabzevar County, seasonal rivers such as the Kal-e Shur and the Abrisham-rud, together with the fertile soil of the Joveyn and Sabzevar plains, have helped agriculture to flourish and given the region a diverse vegetation cover. To reach Barghamad Waterfall, first go to the city of Sabzevar and take the Esfarayen road from there. After about 30 kilometres, turn onto a side road at the fork before the village of Bid, which leads to the parking area and the start of the walking trail. The best time to visit is summer, when the waterfall is flowing and the area has cool, pleasant weather. In other seasons, especially autumn and winter, the waterfall may carry little water or the stream may be dry. When visiting, please follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including not littering, not damaging the vegetation and keeping the environment peaceful.
