Varsak Waterfall

Varsak Waterfall in Savadkuh lies east of the beautiful village of Varsak, beneath the peaks of Atabak and Tizkuh. The area has a very beautiful, semi-forested valley that is fairly deep and captivates every visitor. The lovely, full-flowing Cheshmeh Ali waterfall, which is the seasonal Varsak Waterfall, drops roughly twenty metres from this valley toward Varsak village. Its water rises in the Qadamgah highlands, and every year it draws large numbers of eager visitors. The walk from Varsak village to the foot of the waterfall takes about 30 minutes, and half of it runs alongside the river. The climate of the area is mild, humid and mountainous. The river you cross is seasonal, and its volume varies from season to season.

Interestingly, Varsak Waterfall is divided into two parts: the small waterfall and the large waterfall. Along the trail you will reach a small waterfall, a sign that you are getting close to your destination. On the way you pass through a gorge between two mountains where water flows over a sloping surface; this section of the route is called the small waterfall, while the end of the route is called the large waterfall. At this point there is a fork, and you need to take the right-hand path to reach the main waterfall. With its unrivalled scenery and the sound of the water echoing through the natural surroundings, the waterfall gives visitors an unforgettable experience.

Varsak district is an old summer pasture region that became known by this name when the remarkable Varsak Bridge was built. Although most tourists know the area only for the historic Varsak Bridge, Varsak Waterfall is every bit as attractive for tourism as the old bridge of this village. The trail to Varsak Waterfall begins right beneath Varsak Bridge, and you need to follow the river to reach the beautiful waterfall. This lovely, engaging route takes you into the heart of nature and offers a pleasant, memorable experience. Because you have to cross the river to reach the waterfall, the best time to visit is from mid-Ordibehesht until the end of summer.
