Harmak Waterfall

Harmak Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Kerman Province. It lies in the village of Harmak and offers a unique sight in the dry, desert landscape of southeastern Kerman. The village is 110 kilometers southeast of Kerman and 45 kilometers southeast of Golbaf. With its fairly dense vegetation, thick groves of date palms, green fields, flowing qanat water and a river that runs in the rainy seasons, it has an atmosphere full of freshness and life.

Harmak Waterfall is about 14 meters high and flows in steps down a shallow, vertical gorge with a 90-degree slope: first about 8 meters, then about 6 meters down the walls. In this desert setting, the gentle roar of the falling water carries something of the sound of nature. Although the waterfall carries less water than some larger and taller waterfalls, its setting in the heart of the dry Lut Desert region gives it a special beauty and grandeur, and it lends the area a distinctive character.

To reach the waterfall, drive from the city of Kerman toward Bam and then Golbaf. After reaching the town of Golbaf, follow the road toward the village of Harmak. Park your vehicle and walk for about 15 minutes along a dirt trail through the valley to reach the waterfall. The best times to visit are spring and autumn, when the waterfall flows better and the weather is cooler. Visitors must practice responsible nature tourism: do not leave litter, and respect the natural surroundings.
