Jermuk Waterfall, Cascade waterfall in Vayots Dzor, Armenia.

Jermuk Waterfall descends roughly 68 meters across three dome-shaped rock tiers, creating a white cascade against the mountain backdrop. The tiered structure allows water to flow down in distinct sections, each stage framed by natural rock formations.

The waterfall originates from springs on the Jermuk tributary and drops about 68 metres over three dome-shaped terraces into the Arpa River. On 14 August 2008 the Armenian government listed it among the state natural monuments under a decision confirming the national register. The surrounding hot springs, called jermuks, were known for their curative properties long before modern tourism, as abandoned bathing pools show.

The name Jermuk comes from the Armenian word for warm springs, and the hot mineral water that feeds the falls has been used for bathing since old times; abandoned bathing pools near the springs are still pointed out. The water is bottled and sold as Jermuk mineral water.

The waterfall lies within Jermuk town, about 200 km from Yerevan, where the Jermuk tributary drops into the Arpa River. It is a state natural monument, listed by government decision of 14 August 2008. The falls begin at springs, so flow depends on the source rather than on snowmelt alone.

The waterfall is fed by springs rather than a single river source, and it drops into the Arpa River on its right-bank tributary, the Jermuk. It was listed among Armenia's state natural monuments by a government decision adopted on 14 August 2008.
