The Tang-e Zendan Valley offers a natural landscape of forest and mountains. It contains about 10 high waterfalls, the most famous of which is Tang-e Zendan Waterfall, or Keredi Kon. The waterfall is 120 metres high. It is considered one of the most water-rich and tallest waterfalls in Iran, and in the local language the literal meaning of Kerudikon is "smoke-like mist".
So far, more than 272 plant species have been identified in the Sabzkuh area. Among the most important are tragacanth milkvetch (Astragalus), hawthorn, juniper, oak, Astragalus (gaz-bearing milkvetch), grasses, almond, kikam, lamb's ear and Daphne mucronata. The vegetation of the area is dense and very diverse, which makes it a suitable habitat for wildlife. To date, about 21 reptile species, 24 mammal species, 12 fish species and 4 amphibian species have been identified in the area.
The best time to visit Tang-e Zendan Waterfall is from late Ordibehesht (mid-May) to late Shahrivar (mid-September). In these seasons the weather is cool and pleasant, and the landscape is lush with plenty of water. The chance of rain and flooding is also lower at this time. In spring and summer, average daytime temperatures range between 15 and 25 °C, and the climate in the area is mild. These conditions are ideal for exploring the outdoors.
