Kasakh Waterfall, Canal-fed waterfall site in Aragatsotn Province, Armenia

Kasakh Waterfall is a 70-metre waterfall in Aragatsotn Province, Armenia, facing the village of Karbi and Hovhannavank Monastery. Its water was released from the Arzni-Shamiram Canal onto the left slope of the Kasakh River gorge. Since a small hydroelectric station was built, the fall runs only in spring, when excess water is released.

The waterfall was not natural: water was diverted from the Arzni-Shamiram canal and released over the left slope of the Kasakh river gorge near Ohanavan, opposite Karbi and Hovhannavank. At 70 metres it was Armenia's highest waterfall. After a mini hydroelectric station was built, it flows only in spring, when surplus water is released.

The waterfall faces the monastery of Hovhannavank, on the opposite side of the Kasakh gorge, near the village of Karbi. The cascade itself was artificial: water was diverted from the Arzni-Shamiram canal and released onto the gorge's left slope, so the view of the monastery was long paired with a man-made fall.

The waterfall is fed by the Arzni-Shamiram canal and now runs only in spring, when excess water is released past the mini-hydroelectric station; at other times the channel is dry. It faces the Ovanavank monastery across the Kasakh gorge, near Ohanavan and Karbi villages.
