Yakhar Waterfall

Yakhar Waterfall is one of the beautiful and lesser-known waterfalls of Babol County in Mazandaran Province. It lies in East Bandpey, in the forested area of Kijabur and Sheikh Musa. Set in unspoiled nature and the Hyrcanian forests, it is an attractive nature-tourism destination in northern Iran thanks to its great height, abundant flow and the peaceful surroundings. The constant sound of flowing water, together with the dense cover of forest trees, creates a calm and pleasant atmosphere that appeals strongly to nature lovers and anyone seeking the tranquility of the forest.

To reach Yakhar Waterfall, you need to follow the forest trail to Kijabur Waterfall and, after passing the upper part of Kijabur Waterfall, walk about 10 minutes at an easy pace. Along the way you will see several other smaller and larger waterfalls that make the route even more appealing. The water of Yakhar Waterfall is very cold and clear, and especially on hot days of the year, a cool and pleasant atmosphere forms around it. The access route is relatively easy and suitable for families and light nature walks. The surrounding forests are covered with species such as beech, alder and hornbeam, which take on a colorful and eye-catching look in autumn.

To get to Yakhar Waterfall, travel from the city of Babol toward East Bandpey and the village of Sheikh Musa, then continue along the Kijabur forest trail. The total round-trip time to visit the waterfalls is about two hours, and the route follows a clear footpath. The best time to visit the area is from spring to early autumn, when the waterfalls carry more water and the surrounding nature is greener. Visitors should avoid damaging the vegetation, making a lot of noise or leaving litter behind, so that this unspoiled nature is preserved.
