Charand Waterfall

Charand Waterfall is one of the beautiful natural waterfalls of Tehran Province, in Lavasanat District, near the village of Afjeh. It lies in the Hoveij Plain (Garchal) and is regarded as one of the region's signature attractions. The waterfall is located in the northwest part of the Hoveij Plain, along the route up to Atashgah Peak, and creates a stunning view of water flowing through the mountainside among orchards and cherry, plum and walnut trees. For this reason it is especially popular with travellers and nature lovers. This tiered waterfall is about 50 meters high and offers a distinctive and memorable view in the Hoveij Plain area.

The Hoveij Plain lies in the highlands above the village of Afjeh, and the route to Charand Waterfall begins in Afjeh. Visitors usually follow a footpath toward the Hoveij Plain and, after reaching the Sabusatan (Soostoon) meadow, continue on toward Charand Waterfall. This walk through nature passes among orchard trees, open meadows and small streams, and offers a special experience of mountain nature tourism in the highlands north of Tehran.

The best time to visit Charand Waterfall is spring and summer, when the water flow in the Hoveij Plain is greater and the weather is more pleasant; autumn also has a different charm thanks to the colors of nature. Following responsible nature-tourism principles on the route, such as not leaving litter, staying on marked trails and protecting natural resources, helps preserve this beauty. With its lush scenery and high mountain surroundings, Charand Waterfall is considered one of the attractive nature-tourism options around Tehran.
