Veriyid Waterfall

Veriyud Waterfall, known in the local dialect as Veriyid Chereh, is located about 4.5 kilometers north of Sohan village in Taleqan. In the local language, "chereh" means waterfall, and when the water flow is low it is called "chorna". This beautiful waterfall, about 7 meters high, lies in a scenic mountain valley. In spring and early summer, when the waterfall is full of water, the scenery is at its most striking; in summer, as the flow decreases, it is less impressive.

Around Sohan village there are many kinds of orchards with fruit trees such as walnut, apple, apricot, greengage plum, plum, grape, pear, almond, cherry and hazelnut. Non-fruit trees also grow in the area, such as plane trees (the village is famous for an ancient plane tree in its center, with 7 branches and a diameter of about 14 meters), ash, elm and willow. This old plane tree, known as the "Chenar-e Dar of Sohan", is more than a thousand years old and holds a special, almost sacred place among the local people.

This area, which has seen little mass tourism, still has unspoiled, quiet nature. After passing Siyahband Waterfall, the trail offers forest views and a stream running alongside the path, making for an easy walk through the mountains and along the brook. To reach Veriyud Waterfall, first go to Sohan village in Taleqan and from there follow the route to Siyahband Waterfall. Then, after about 1 to 1.5 hours of gentle walking along the valley trail, you will reach the destination. The best time to visit is spring and early summer; in autumn the path may be slippery, and winter brings freezing conditions. Please collect your trash when you visit and stick to safe routes.
