Ziarat Waterfall

Ziarat Waterfall is located in Golestan Province, in Gorgan County, along the road to Naharkhoran Forest Park. It lies 5 kilometers south of Ziarat village and about 19 kilometers south of Gorgan. Thanks to its setting amid dense forest, it has an unspoiled, peaceful atmosphere. The cool, refreshing water cascading down from the mountain creates a delightful scene that draws visitors from near and far.

Ziarat Waterfall is formed by two separate streams, each roughly 15 meters high, which fall into a natural pool. In summer, these pools become a pleasant spot for swimming and bathing, and the roar of the water together with the cool mountain breeze makes for a pure, unforgettable experience for every visitor. The area around the waterfall has been equipped with stone bridges and footpaths to make access easier. The rich vegetation, abundant moss and lichen, and the humid air of the region give the setting a special character. The waterfall lies within a protected area, and with its unique beauty and cool, clear water, it is a popular destination for nature-loving travelers.

What sets Ziarat Waterfall apart is the four-season nature around it. In spring, the waterfall is surrounded by fresh flowers and green meadows; summers are cool and pleasant; autumn gives it a dreamlike look with colorful leaves; and in winter, a curtain of snow and ice settles over the waterfall. To reach Ziarat Waterfall, first take the Naharkhoran road and after about 15 kilometers you will reach Ziarat village. From there, a dirt road continues toward the waterfall; it is passable by ordinary passenger cars, and a parking area is provided at the end of the road. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the forest trail around the waterfall is covered with wildflowers and eye-catching greenery. Responsible nature tourism, such as not harming the environment and respecting the local culture, is recommended.
