Vargehsaran Waterfall

Vargehsaran Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Sarein County in Ardabil Province. It is located in the village of Vargehsaran on the slopes of Mount Sabalan, about 10 kilometers from the town of Sarein. The waterfall lies in a lush valley, where several mountain springs (the Chehel Cheshmeh, or Qirkh Bulaq) meet hard rock and spill down between the cliffs, creating a spectacular view and a peaceful natural setting. The green scenery around it, the wildflowers, and the flowing water set against the Sabalan mountains have made this spot famous.

Set in unspoiled nature, close to grassy meadows and scattered woodland, Vargehsaran Waterfall is a favorite with nature lovers and local travelers. The water flows most strongly in spring and summer, and the surroundings are covered with green meadows and low trees. For anyone who wants fresh air, natural scenery, and the sound of running water, the area offers good opportunities for photography and relaxing in the midst of nature.

To reach Vargehsaran Waterfall, drive from the town of Sarein toward the village of Vargehsaran. The route is nearly 10 kilometers long and follows rural and mountain roads. Once you reach the village, the rest of the way to the waterfall usually involves an easy walk across meadows and along natural paths. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is milder and the water flow is at its fullest. While visiting, it is essential to practice responsible nature tourism, such as picking up your trash, not lighting fires, and respecting the surrounding vegetation, in order to protect this ecosystem.
