Kasakh Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Hovhannavan village, Armenia.
Kasakh Waterfall plunges approximately 70 meters from basalt cliffs, forming a powerful cascade that flows through the Aragatsotn region. The water travels through a valley marked by steep rock walls and creates a dramatic natural display.
Ancient volcanic eruptions shaped the landscape by forcing hot lava over ancient riverbeds and creating the geological conditions for the cascade. This volcanic activity directly led to the formation visible today.
The setting maintains deep connections to faith through proximity to an ancient monastery complex across the river. Visitors can sense the spiritual character of the area as they move between the waterfall and the religious structures nearby.
The area lacks facilities and services, so bring your own water and supplies for your visit. Sturdy footwear is essential as the ground is uneven and can be slippery, especially near the water.
Water flow changes noticeably with the seasons, creating the strongest cascade during summer months. Winter temperatures can freeze the falls, transforming them into impressive ice formations.
