Kordit Waterfall

Kordit Waterfall is one of the tallest and most powerful waterfalls in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. It lies in the Darkesh Varkesh Gorge and is about 120 metres high. Because of the force of its flow and the spray it throws up, it is known as "the wildest waterfall in Iran" and offers a stunning, thrilling sight for nature lovers and mountaineers.

The river that feeds the waterfall is fast and full. After passing through the gorge and briefly joining the Kaj River, it finally flows into the Armand River and the Karun watershed. The area around the waterfall, with its tall cliffs and lush greenery, is a good setting for photography, relaxing and enjoying the sound of the water. The trail down to the bottom of the valley is steep and requires care, but the magnificent waterfall is well worth the walk.

The waterfall is ten kilometres from Jounaghan and fifteen kilometres from Ardal. To reach it, take the road from Shahrekord to Ardal. Just before the sign reading "15 km to Ardal", get out of your vehicle and follow the footpath on the left side of the road. The path descends steeply into the valley, and after a few minutes' walk the magnificent view of the waterfall opens up. The best time to visit Kordit Waterfall is spring and early summer, when the water flow is at its peak and the surrounding nature is green and alive. Visitors are encouraged to practise responsible tourism, including not leaving any litter and keeping the area peaceful, to help protect this beautiful natural site.
