Masuleh Waterfall

Masuleh Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Masuleh County in Gilan Province. It lies in the highlands west of the village. About 30 metres high, the waterfall sits at the end of a forested valley and is known as one of Masuleh's tourist attractions. It can be reached on foot by following the Masuleh Rudkhan River.

The area is part of the Hyrcanian forests. Its vegetation includes beech, oak, maple, linden, alder, hawthorn, medlar, blackberry, borage, thyme and wild mint, and in autumn and spring wild mushrooms such as morels are found. Because of the dense forests nearby, the area is home to a variety of animal species. These include mammals such as the brown bear, wild boar, jackal and fox, and birds such as the partridge, woodpecker and nightingale. To reach the waterfall, take the Masuleh–Lahijan road and, about one kilometre from Masuleh, you will come to the "Eshkelit" fork. From this fork, a side road continues towards the waterfall. The trail to the waterfall follows the river on a gentle slope, and after about an hour of hiking you reach a rock wall over which the water plunges down.

With its unspoiled nature and beautiful scenery, Masuleh Waterfall is a great place for nature walks and photography. The best time to visit is spring and summer. In these seasons the weather is mild and pleasant, and the surroundings of the waterfall are at their most beautiful. The waterfall also carries more water at these times, and the surrounding landscape looks especially striking. A visit to this waterfall gives travellers an unforgettable experience and an excellent chance to connect with nature and enjoy its beauty.
