Givak Waterfall

Givak Waterfall is one of the natural and tourist attractions of South Khorasan Province. It lies near the village of Givak, five kilometres off the Birjand–Kerman road. The waterfall sits at the end of a lush, beautiful valley, and its distinctive geographic setting has made it one of the province's major tourist destinations. The surroundings of the waterfall are covered with varied vegetation, including wild almond trees, various species of salt-tolerant shrubs, and medicinal plants such as thyme, kakuti (wild mint) and qeysari. This plant diversity, together with the waterfall's permanent flow of water, provides a suitable habitat for small birds, hedgehogs and lizards, which attracts nature-loving visitors.

Givak Waterfall is a series of several small waterfalls, the tallest of which is about 8 metres high. Side by side, these waterfalls create a beautiful and enchanting view. The area around the waterfall has green trees, diverse plants and fruit orchards, which add to the beauty and pleasantness of the region. In recent years, the construction of the Givak Dam in this area has changed the landscape and the natural beauty of the waterfall. The dam was built to supply water and manage water resources, and it has affected the appearance and performance of the waterfall.

To reach Givak Waterfall, take a side road heading south from the beginning of the Birjand–Khusf road. After passing through the villages of Dehno, Zini and Nukand, you will arrive at the village of Givak. After passing through the village, continue along the road and you will reach the waterfall. Thanks to its mild, cool weather, the area is a popular destination for nature trips and relaxation in spring and summer. To protect the environment and respect nature, we recommend collecting your rubbish and putting it in designated places, and avoiding any damage to the vegetation.
