Shir-Abad Waterfall

Shir-Abad is a multi-tiered waterfall flowing down through forested mountain slopes in northern Iran with a series of cascading steps. The water drops approximately 30 meters in total height as it descends through the landscape.

The name comes from Persian words meaning place of abundant water, reflecting how long the waterfall has been flowing through this region. Local communities have visited this location for generations as part of their connection to the land.

The waterfall holds meaning for local communities who gather here during warmer months to enjoy the cool waters and surrounding landscape.

Visitors must hike along rural paths to reach the waterfall, which requires moderate physical effort and takes some time. Wear proper footwear and bring water, as the route passes through forest terrain.

The pools formed beneath the cascades reach exceptional depths where the water is clear and inviting for swimming on hot days. These natural basins were carved by thousands of years of water flow and erosion.
