Bekhal Waterfall

The Bekhal Waterfall flows through a mountainous region in northern Iraq, creating multiple cascades that stream down the rocky terrain at 2536 feet elevation.

The waterfall has shaped the natural landscape of the Erbil Governorate for centuries, forming part of the Kurdistan Region's geological formations near Rawanduz.

Local residents from Kurdish communities maintain food stalls and a bazaar at the base of the waterfall, offering regional dishes to visiting travelers.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through two main routes: from Gali Ali Beg waterfalls or via the Soran district, with both paths leading to the central viewing area.

The mineral-rich water flows year-round through the mountain passages, creating natural pools and streaming patterns across the limestone formations.
