Khodangestan Waterfall

Khodangestan Waterfall is one of the most striking and unspoiled natural attractions in Isfahan Province. It lies in the pleasant-climate region of Fereydunshahr, known as the "Roof of Iran". Located along the Cheshmeh Langan road, the waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery, the roar of rushing water and mountain views, making it an appealing destination for nature lovers and anyone who enjoys adventure in the wild.

The unique feature of this waterfall is the route leading to it, which passes through a water tunnel: a tunnel about 1 kilometre long, with water 20 to 40 centimetres deep and wide enough for a car to pass. Some sources state that the waterfall is more than 60 metres wide, which would make it one of the widest waterfalls in the Middle East. This route gives visitors a different and exciting experience and makes it one of the most challenging access routes among natural attractions.

To reach the waterfall, first drive from Fereydunshahr towards Sibak village, then turn onto the dirt road towards the water tunnel. The first part of the route is paved, but the rest requires a vehicle able to handle unpaved terrain, such as a motorbike or an off-road vehicle. In just 10 minutes you will reach a concrete tunnel about 2 metres high. Entering the tunnel and continuing through it is about 1 kilometre; however, note that from late Tir (mid-July) until the rains begin, the tunnel route is usually dry and passable. The best time to visit is late spring and summer, when the tunnels are roaring with water and the surrounding nature is fresh and green. It is essential to follow ecotourism principles, such as not leaving litter, protecting vegetation and respecting the region's ecosystem.
