Dinar Sara Waterfall

Dinar Sara Waterfall is located in Mazandaran Province, in Tonekabon County, in the Neshtarud area, near the forest village of Dinar Sara. The waterfall lies in the heart of the dense, pristine forests of northern Iran, and because it sits on the "roof of Neshtarud", it is considered one of the region's most notable nature-tourism spots. Neshtarud as a whole is an area rich in springs, rivers and natural waterfalls, and this has given Dinar Sara a special place among nature lovers and forest hiking enthusiasts. Its setting amid dense forest cover has made it one of the finest examples of Hyrcanian nature.

The main Dinar Sara waterfall is about 16 metres high, and a second waterfall lies further along the forest trail. Reaching the first waterfall takes about 10 minutes of walking on a fairly easy dirt path, but reaching the second requires about 30 minutes along a forest footpath with no clear or standard trail. For this reason, the area is not suitable for families and children and is recommended mainly for experienced nature travellers. The surroundings of the waterfall consist of tall trees, dense forest cover and completely unspoiled scenery, and on holidays, especially in spring and summer, it hosts visitors and those who enjoy a picnic in the forest.

The waterfall can be reached via the Neshtarud area in Tonekabon County, and hiring a local guide is recommended when entering the forest trail to make the trek safer. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is milder and the nature is at its greenest. Practising responsible nature tourism, including keeping the environment clean, not damaging the vegetation and staying on marked paths, plays an important role in preserving this pristine and valuable ecosystem.
