Gorgetan Waterfall

Gorgetan Waterfall, also known as the Turquoise Waterfall of Gorgan, is located in Mehban Rural District, Nikshahr County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province. This little-known area lies in the heart of the Ahuran Mountains. The waterfall is about 22 metres high and feeds a cool, turquoise spring that stands out in a dry, hot-climate landscape. The village of Gorgetan sits along a route with dozens of waterfalls and clear springs. Despite its limited infrastructure, its unspoiled nature and scenic views attract many visitors.

The waterfall can be reached by a 10-minute walk through the river, up to the area above the village of Gorgetan. It is surrounded by green valleys and a flowing river, which create a stunning view. The turquoise colour of the water is especially appealing, and the setting is ideal for photography, relaxing, swimming and experiencing nature up close. The water wells up from the ground at a height of about 16 metres and then plunges over a rock face roughly 22 metres high. This striking sight and its soothing sound make it an exceptionally pleasant place to relax and escape the heat of the region.

To reach Gorgetan Waterfall, first go to the city of Nikshahr or to Mehban Rural District, then drive along dirt and mountain roads. The last section of the route is an unpaved and difficult road. After parking your car near the village, you walk for about 10 minutes along the river to the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the spring's flow is good and the weather is mild. Acting responsibly toward the environment, such as collecting your litter and respecting nature, helps preserve the beauty of this destination.
