Komardogh Waterfall, near Qaleh Raisi, the administrative center of Charusa District in Kohgiluyeh County, is one of the natural beauties of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, yet it remains little known to tourists. The waterfall is nearly 100 meters high and more than 60 meters wide, and lies 10 kilometers from Qaleh Raisi, the district center. To reach Charusa, you have to drive 70 kilometers along winding mountain roads through oak forests north of the city of Dehdasht.

In the local dialect, "kamar" means a hard, smooth wall, a reference to the shape of the waterfall's cliff face. The wind also deflects the course of the water and turns it into a fine spray. Because the spring water is salty, these powdery droplets look white. For this reason, people likened it to doogh (a yogurt drink) and gave it the name Komardogh. In the local dialect the waterfall is called Komardo. One of its unique features is that its water is salty, unlike the other springs of this province, which are fresh. Salt springs are rarely found in mountainous areas.

The best time to visit the waterfall is in spring and summer. In these two seasons the waterfall carries less water because of the warm, dry weather, but it shows off its greatest beauty. In spring, colorful flowers and lively nature add to the waterfall's beauty, while in summer, the calm and the abundant water around the waterfall create a peaceful and pleasant scene. In autumn, the attractive colors of the trees and leaves create a beautiful landscape, which makes this season appealing for a visit as well. In winter, however, cold and snowy weather makes the waterfall hard to reach, so it is better to avoid visiting in this season.
