Tarz Waterfall

The Tarz waterfalls, about 20 metres high, are located in Savadkuh County, in the Lafur region, amid the Hyrcanian forests. Savadkuh is a very beautiful town in Mazandaran Province, next to Semnan Province. To the east, the area borders the Dodangeh highlands and the city of Sari; to the west, Babol County; to the north, Qaemshahr County; and to the south, Firuzkuh County.

To reach Tarz Waterfall in the Lafur forest, you need to walk for about 40 minutes along a dirt track with a gentle gradient. This is an easy walk for anyone used to light daily walking. Apart from one section where you have to climb up and then down a small hill, the path is fairly flat. However, this need to walk is exactly why the Tarz waterfalls are less well known. After walking a few hundred metres through the forest, you reach the Babolrud River. The water of the Tarz waterfalls flows into the Babolrud. The river itself serves as a guide to the waterfall, though you must walk upstream, against the flow of the water. Near the waterfall lies Mount Tarz, about 2,500 metres high. Thanks to its beautiful, eye-catching scenery, Mount Tarz is one of the most popular climbing destinations in the region.

There is no restriction on visiting the Tarz waterfalls, and every season has its own special colour and scent in this area. Spring is the busiest time of year for visiting the Lafur region and the waterfalls. The weather in the area in spring is delightful and mild. In the misty spring air it may be a little chilly beside the waterfall, but it is a wonderful experience. If you are travelling to Tarz Waterfall to swim and bathe in the water, summer is the best time.
