Pasangi Waterfall

Pasangi Waterfall is one of the most pristine waterfalls in Bandar-e Gaz County, Golestan Province, near the village of Estonabad. It is part of the cluster of waterfalls in Chelmriz Valley. Known as the fourteenth and last waterfall in this valley, it has formed amid lush, little-touched nature. With its series of consecutive waterfalls, Chelmriz Valley is one of the region's most appealing nature-tourism routes, and Pasangi Waterfall marks the end point of this natural chain. The area around the waterfall, with its rock walls, forest vegetation and year-round flow of water, creates a distinctive setting unlike the other natural attractions of the province.

The waterfall lies along a forested river valley, and travelling through it gives visitors an experience that combines river trekking with forest walking. The route to Pasangi Waterfall involves about one hour of walking in the river of Chelmriz Valley, and along the way you will see 13 smaller waterfalls, each with its own charm. These successive waterfalls have made the valley an attractive destination for lovers of adventure, nature tourism and photography. Because of its position at the end of the valley, Pasangi Waterfall is quieter and more pristine than the other waterfalls along the route, making it a good destination for experienced nature travellers.

To reach Pasangi Waterfall, travel to Bandar-e Gaz County in Golestan Province, then enter the village of Estonabad and follow the Chelmriz Valley route. The rest of the way is on foot, through the river, and requires suitable outdoor equipment. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the water volume in the valley is higher and the surrounding nature is at its greenest. Along the route, visitors should avoid entering dangerous currents, damaging the valley's natural walls and leaving litter, so that this pristine ecosystem and the chain of waterfalls are preserved.
