Kaftar Khaneh Waterfall

Kaftar Khaneh Waterfall is located in Golestan Province, near the village of Farsian in Azadshahr County. The waterfall is a series of four cascades that flow through the dense forests of the area. The shortest cascade in the group is about seven metres high, and the tallest is nearly twenty metres. The surrounding landscape combines rock faces covered in forest, and the waterfall is regarded as one of the lesser-known, unspoiled nature destinations in Golestan Province.

The four streams of water running between the forested rocks create a beautiful view that is ideal for nature lovers, photographers and hikers. The surrounding forest cover consists mainly of broadleaf trees and other native forest species, which creates a cool, peaceful atmosphere. One of the hiking trails leading to this waterfall continues towards the Farsian natural glacier, which lies on the slopes of Mount Ali Kamari and where remnants of ice can be seen even in summer. This combination of waterfall, forest and natural glacier offers visitors a distinctive experience of nature.

To reach Kaftar Khaneh Waterfall, first travel to Azadshahr County and then to the village of Farsian. From there, a dirt and forest track leads to the Kaftar Khaneh area, and usually involves walking on a gentle to moderate slope. Some routes may not have a clearly marked path, so it is recommended to go with a guide or to use a GPS track. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the water flow is substantial and the weather is mild. Along the route and during your visit, you are advised to collect your litter, avoid entering restricted areas and respect the vegetation, so that this natural attraction is preserved for future generations.
