Pashandegan Waterfall

Pashandegan Waterfall is located in Pushtkuh Rural District, about 75 kilometres south of Fereydunshahr County in Isfahan Province. This area, with its pleasant climate, lies in the heart of the Zagros mountain range and is considered one of the province's most pristine and fascinating natural spots. The waterfall is roughly 45 metres high and stands out among tall cliffs covered with forest trees such as oak, walnut, terebinth (baneh), apple and hawthorn. The atmosphere here is a reminder of the beauty of creation in the silence of the mountains.

On the way to the waterfall, the scenic views of the mountain forests, a full-flowing river and the delightful song of birds create a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Native trees such as hawthorn, terebinth and wild apple line both sides of the path, displaying a spectacular side of the Zagros landscape. In spring and summer especially, the cool air and the vigorous flow of water over the rocks create a dreamlike setting for a picnic and a rest in the heart of the mountains.

To reach the waterfall, take the route from Isfahan or Fereydunshahr towards the villages of Meydanak-e Avval and Meydanak-e Dovvom (Meydanak 1 and 2), then turn onto the Pushtkuh–Muguyi dirt road. The road continues to Pashandegan village, and from there you can reach the waterfall with a local guide or along the marked route. Visiting is free, but because there is no infrastructure such as a paved road or visitor facilities, suitable equipment and good physical fitness are essential. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the waterfall is at its fullest and the surrounding nature is at its greenest.
