Delfard Waterfall

Delfard Waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Kerman Province. It lies 40 kilometres northwest of the city of Jiroft, close to the village of Karah. The area is part of the summer-pasture route from Jiroft to Sardouiyeh, and thanks to its mild climate and charming scenery it is one of the most popular nature-tourism destinations in the south of Kerman Province. With its varied vegetation, mountain landscapes and full-flowing rivers, Delfard hosts tourists and nature lovers every year.

The main waterfall is in the village of Karah, but several other waterfalls lie along a valley called Golom Dokhtarkosh Valley, and their rocky, lush surroundings captivate every visitor. These waterfalls flow one after another through the heart of the valley and give the area a special character. The route to the Delfard waterfalls is relatively easy, and you can even drive a regular passenger car to the vicinity of the surrounding villages. Alongside this beauty, the Delfard River is one of the most important permanent rivers of the region. It rises on Mount Bahrasman and passes through many villages on its way, such as Darba, Dahaneh Zanger, Razshirin, Reza'abad and Kuldun. After a course of about 30 kilometres, it merges with the Sagdar River to form the Rudshur River of Jiroft. Together, these factors make Delfard a destination for nature lovers, researchers and tourists alike.

To reach Delfard Waterfall, head northwest from the city of Jiroft and follow the Jiroft–Delfard road for about 25 to 45 kilometres. The road continues by car to near the waterfall, and from there a short, pleasant walk among forest trees and lush orchards brings you to it. The region's particular climate makes mid-spring to the end of summer the best season to visit, when the waterfalls flow strongly and the surrounding landscape is green and cool. In winter, despite the cold and a very different look, the area still has its own appeal, although some routes may be closed because of frost. Given the unspoiled nature and the lack of official tourism infrastructure, practising responsible nature tourism is essential to preserving this valuable environment: do not leave litter, protect the vegetation, and respect the quiet of the local ecosystem.
