The area is about 12 kilometres southwest of the town of Amlash. With its pristine, peaceful scenery, it is a delightful spot for nature lovers.

Chaldasht Waterfall is a tiered waterfall with an estimated total height of about 20 metres. The water flows down a series of stone steps, creating a beautiful scene amid the forest. Access is relatively easy, and the surroundings consist of a river and a dirt track, which makes it suitable for a light, short visit. According to reports, the waterfall is seasonal, and in years with less rainfall the water flow is lower.

To reach the waterfall, you can set out from the town of Amlash and follow the Kahlestan-to-Bolordakan connecting road. Then continue toward the village of Chaldasht and take its dirt road to the waterfall site. A short walk of about half an hour will bring you to a view of the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the waterfall is full and the weather is pleasant and mild.
