Alishahi Waterfall

Alishahi Waterfall is located in Fars Province, about 60 kilometres west of the city of Nurabad Mamasani. This beautiful waterfall sits in the heart of a mountain valley known as the Alishahi Gorge, or Palangan Gorge. Thanks to its great height, unspoiled setting and abundant flow, it is considered one of the tallest and most spectacular waterfalls in the region. The village of Alishahi, close to the waterfall, has a population of around 70 households and lies in the northwest of Mamasani County, with a mild climate. Most villagers work in farming and orchard keeping, and the area is also valuable from both a cultural and a natural point of view.

To reach Alishahi Waterfall you must pass through a gorge whose steep slopes, rocky walls and difficult trails call for a reasonable level of physical fitness. The route between the rocks and large boulders is challenging, but in the end it rewards visitors with a stunning view of the roaring waterfall and the lush surroundings. The untouched character of this route and the lack of typical tourist infrastructure have made the area a popular destination for experienced nature travellers, those who love lesser-known places, and adventurous mountaineers.

The road to the village of Alishahi can be driven, but reaching the waterfall itself requires about an hour of hiking through the gorge. The best time to visit Alishahi Waterfall is from late spring to the end of summer, when the water volume is reasonable, the weather is mild and the landscape is greener. Nature lovers should practise responsible nature tourism: do not leave litter, damage vegetation or make noise, and stay on the existing trails so that this unspoiled area remains beautiful and untouched.
