Abend Waterfall

Abend Waterfall is one of the pristine natural wonders of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It lies 40 kilometres from Qasr-e Qand County and 3 kilometres upstream of Abend village, in Sarbuk District. This beautiful waterfall descends in a stepped form among the mountains of the Abend area. Despite the region's hot, dry climate, Abend Waterfall flows for most of the year and is known as one of the relatively perennial waterfalls of southeastern Iran. The surroundings of the waterfall, with their wild-growing trees, beautiful rocks, and unspoiled, little-known landscapes, create a pleasant and peaceful setting for visitors.

Abend Waterfall has a tiered structure with five natural pools, where water pours down over hard, dark rocks, creating a spectacular and eye-catching sight. This natural design offers a unique opportunity to take attractive photos and enjoy the soothing calm of the area. The deep valleys and varied vegetation around the waterfall give visitors the feel of a living nature study. Around the waterfall there are also various other natural attractions, including the Keshik, Shegim, Kaju and Fanuj rivers, the Sarhad Gorge, and the Ahuran and Fanuj Sefidkuh heights. In addition, the unspoiled areas around Sarbuk, such as the natural forests of Chat Sar, Led and Mach Jangal, and smaller waterfalls such as Sohaki, Garkur, Tonk and Gazdan, are among the lesser-known sights of this area. These features have made the Abend area an emerging destination for nature tourism in southern Iran.

To reach the waterfall, first drive from the town of Qasr-e Qand towards Hajiabad village, and then continue to Abend village. From here, you will have an easy walk of about 4 kilometres through nature to reach the foot of the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and after rainfall, when the water volume is greater and the route is safer. Along the way, please follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not leaving litter, keeping noise down and staying on the established trails, so that this valuable ecosystem remains unspoiled.
