Shelbon Waterfall

Shelbon Waterfall (also spelled Shelehbon) is one of Taleqan's most scenic natural attractions. It lies about 10 kilometers north of Taleqan county, near the village of Bazaj, in Alborz Province. Fed from the mountain slopes of Khosban Peak, the waterfall has an unspoiled, natural setting in an area with a pleasant climate, making it a delightful destination for nature lovers and fans of mountain scenery.

This three-tiered waterfall has a total height of around 20 to 25 meters and flows through an open, rocky valley. The water's natural course runs over smooth limestone rock, creating a striking and tranquil scene that, together with the soothing sound of flowing water, makes for an enjoyable experience for visitors. The cold water, the cool air around it and the vegetation suited to the mountain environment add to its appeal.

To reach the waterfall, first head from the town of Taleqan toward the villages of Bazaj or Khosban. The paved road continues to the village entrance, and after parking your car, you need to walk lightly for about 30 to 40 minutes through orchards and mountain paths. Along the way, you pass through green, peaceful landscapes, and you can also visit Bazaj Cave, about 25 meters deep, one of the area's side attractions. The calming silence of the mountains, together with the pleasant sound of flowing water, provides a peaceful setting to escape the bustle of the city. The waterfall is especially spectacular in spring, when Taleqan is green and rich in water.
