Nesaz Waterfall

Nesaz Waterfall is a beautiful and little-known natural attraction in Khalkhal County, Ardabil Province, in the Southern Khoresh Rostam District. The waterfall lies beside the village of Nesaz, a mountain village with lush scenery and a mild climate in spring and summer. In the colder seasons, its altitude and mountain location make it considerably colder. Nesaz is one of the villages of Khoresh Rostam District, and because it sits on the slopes of the Alborz Range, it offers a stunning landscape of forests, valleys and mountains.

Nesaz Waterfall is a tiered (cascading) waterfall, where water pours down through different levels of the mountain in the heart of the forest, creating a charming scene of water and the surrounding greenery. It lies in the pristine forests of Khoresh Rostam District, and especially in spring, after rainfall and snowmelt, the water flow becomes fuller and the surrounding nature greener. In some sections, the route from the village to the waterfall passes through forest paths and uneven terrain, which appeals to nature lovers of easy to moderate fitness and lets you see the region's varied vegetation and natural beauty.

To reach Nesaz Waterfall, first travel to the city of Khalkhal or to Khoresh Rostam District in Ardabil Province, and then continue toward the village of Nesaz. From the village to the waterfall there is usually an easy to moderate walking trail through the forest, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes on foot, depending on conditions and where you stop. The best time to visit Nesaz Waterfall is spring and summer (Farvardin to Shahrivar), because during this period the weather is more pleasant and the water flow is better. As with visiting any nature destination, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including picking up litter, respecting the vegetation and avoiding harm to the environment, so that this pristine area is preserved for future generations.
