Gasht Rudkhan Twin Waterfalls

In Gilan Province, near the town of Fuman, there is a village with a pleasant climate and unique flora and fauna, which has made it a protected area and a must-see natural attraction. One of the main natural attractions of Gasht Rudkhan village is a very beautiful pair of twin waterfalls, known as the Gasht Rudkhan Waterfall. Since the waterfalls are 15 kilometres from the town of Fuman, you need to walk through the forest to reach them. Along the way you will enjoy the beautiful, unspoilt nature around you. Although these waterfalls are not very high, together with the lovely natural surroundings they create a breathtaking landscape.

Because it lies within the Hyrcanian forests, the Gasht Rudkhan area has very rich and diverse vegetation. Tall, ancient trees such as beech, maple, oak, alder and hornbeam, as well as various wild fruit trees, can be seen here. In spring and summer, medicinal plants, wildflowers and ferns add to the beauty of the area. The Hyrcanian forests are an ideal habitat for many kinds of wild animals and birds. In this area you can see animals such as wild boar, jackals, foxes, deer and brown bears, as well as many kinds of birds of prey and songbirds. Colourful insects and butterflies can also be seen here during the warmer months of the year.

Spring is the best time to visit the Gasht Rudkhan Waterfall. In this season the landscape is lush and full of wildflowers, and thanks to spring rains and melting winter snow, the waterfall is full and powerful. Summer is also a good time to visit, especially for those looking to escape the heat of the city. The cool, pleasant air of the forest and waterfall creates a delightful setting for visitors. In autumn, the Hyrcanian forests are covered in warm, beautiful autumn colours, creating a stunning view. However, the waterfall may carry less water in this season.
