Darrud Waterfall

Darrud Waterfall is one of the beautiful and pristine natural attractions of Razavi Khorasan Province, located in Zebarkhan County near the town of Qadamgah. With its rushing current and crystal-clear water, the waterfall creates a calm and pleasant atmosphere in the heart of the area's mountain landscape, making it a fine destination for travellers and nature lovers. The sound of the falling water and the green scenery around it give visitors a soothing and memorable experience.

The vegetation around the waterfall includes oak, willow and gon (astragalus) shrubs, which give the area a beautiful, eye-catching look. Native birds and small forest animals also live in the area, which adds to its biodiversity and its appeal for visitors. Darrud Waterfall is an ideal place for those looking for a pristine and enjoyable experience in the nature of Razavi Khorasan.

To reach Darrud Waterfall, first drive from Qadamgah towards the town of Darrud. After a few kilometres, a stone-paved but steep mountain footpath begins and continues to the Narmpa Gorge and finally to the waterfall. The route takes about two hours on foot, so it is best to be properly prepared. The best time to visit is early to mid spring, when the rivers are full and the valley's scenery is at its most beautiful. When travelling in this area, it is especially important to practise responsible nature tourism: stay on the footpath, carry out your litter, protect the environment and respect wildlife.
