Chootin Goon Waterfall

Chootin Goon Waterfall is one of the beautiful natural attractions of Saravan County in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It lies in the Negaran Valley, near the rural district of Nahook. About 20 metres high, the waterfall pours down through rocky cliffs, and because its flow is relatively steady on most days of the year, it has kept its scenic, unspoiled character. The name "Chootin Goon" comes from the local name of the wild pistachio tree (bane, also called goon), which grows around the waterfall and shows the role native plants play in shaping the region's ecosystem. As one of the natural destinations of Sistan and Baluchestan, Chootin Goon Waterfall brings together water, rock and semi-arid vegetation.

In the high-water seasons, especially spring and the mild winter, the landscape around Chootin Goon Waterfall offers a pleasant setting for nature lovers, nature photographers and families. The surroundings include drought-resistant vegetation and patches of wild pistachio forest, which, alongside the flowing water, create an aesthetic contrast with the region's semi-arid climate. Visitors can walk along the natural trails of the Negaran Valley and enjoy the rocky scenery and native trees.

To reach Chootin Goon Waterfall, first travel to Saravan County, then take local roads to the village of Nahook and the Negaran Valley. This dirt road is usually passable for local vehicles and off-road cars. The best time to visit is spring, when the water flow is at its fullest and the weather is more pleasant. Responsible nature tourism here means keeping the area clean, avoiding pollution of water sources and respecting the region's native ecosystem, so that this natural attraction is preserved for future visitors.
