Tuf Kheymeh Suq Waterfall

Tuf Kheymeh Suq Waterfall, in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, lies in Suq District of Kohgiluyeh County and is one of the best-known natural sights of the region. The waterfall is near Bibi Zulaykha village, on the road from Landeh to Dehdasht. It is about ten kilometres from the town of Suq, and the area around it is covered with varied vegetation and natural forest, which doubles the beauty of the landscape.

The waterfall is nearly fifty metres high, and the water pours down a tall, majestic cliff in a mesmerising fall. The surroundings are covered with oak trees, jujube trees and a variety of medicinal plants, creating a calm and scenic natural setting. According to local legends, the grandeur and awe of this falling water once served as a deterrent to the enemies of this land. The waterfall is a favourite spot for nature travellers, mountaineers and nature lovers who enjoy the quiet, cool atmosphere of the mountains.

To reach the waterfall, first drive from Suq toward Landeh. After passing Lir, about 6 kilometres beyond Lir, leave the main road and take the road to Dezhkuh. The road to Bibi Zulaykha village is paved and in good condition, and the rest of the way to the waterfall is a dirt track. After about one kilometre of easy hiking with a moderate change in elevation, you will reach the foot of the waterfall in about half an hour. The best season to visit is spring, especially Farvardin (late March to April), when the landscape is green and the weather is pleasant. While visiting, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: do not leave litter behind, walk only on marked paths, and do not damage the vegetation or the natural habitats of the area.
