Dalehlan Waterfall

Dalehlan Waterfall is one of the most pristine and astonishing natural attractions of Lorestan Province, located on the slopes of the historic and mysterious Mehrab Kuh. This tall waterfall, about 50 meters high, lies in a rocky area that is hard to traverse. In the local language, the waterfall is called "Taf Daleh Lan"; "Taf" means waterfall, "Dal" means eagle and "Lan" means nest, which together mean "Eagle's Nest". Many eagle nests can be seen around the waterfall, which adds to the beauty and mystery of the area.

The waterfall's rocky, vertical structure and its challenging, thrilling mountain route make Dalehlan attractive to experienced climbers and nature lovers. The access route includes an hour's walk through the valley, and even crossing unsafe bridges and natural rock "ladders" that demand care and skill . This rugged landscape is covered with mixed vegetation of oak and the hardy shrubs of the Zagros region. The area's wildlife is very diverse, including species such as bears, wolves, wild boars and hyenas, as well as birds such as eagles, owls and nightingales, which double its environmental appeal. Reaching Dalehlan Waterfall requires physical fitness and the company of a local guide. So if you intend to visit this unique natural site, be sure to set out with a professional group and full equipment.

To reach the waterfall, first go to Delfan County, then follow the route through the villages of Javadabad and Anareh to reach the village of Gerdakaneh, southwest of Nurabad. From this point, the hiking route begins toward Mehrab Kuh and finally the waterfall. The best time to visit Dalehlan Waterfall is late winter (Esfand), early spring, and also autumn, when the nature of the region is at its most beautiful and green, and stunning views of mountains, forest and wildlife await visitors. We recommend bringing mountaineering equipment and suitable footwear, and traveling this route only on dry, safe days. Also, because the nature here is untouched, please carry your garbage back out and avoid setting up camp along the route so that this natural attraction stays clean.
