Makki Waterfall

Makki Waterfall is located in Kerman Province, about 35 km east of Ravar County and close to the northern part of the Lut Desert. The waterfall lies in a beautiful valley in Makki village, part of Ravar County. Although it sits within the Lut Desert, this body of water appears like a sudden, shining paradise and offers a unique experience for nature lovers.

Makki Waterfall drops about 12 meters from rocky cliffs and forms a natural pool downstream, which serves as a place for visitors to rest and relax. The vegetation around the waterfall includes mountain plant species such as wild fig, wild pistachio (baneh), wild almond, wormwood (artemisia) and salt-tolerant grasses, which have turned the gorge into a natural garden. Mosses and maidenhair ferns also grow on the rock surfaces, giving the valley walls a velvety look. According to some observations, mineral-rich hot spring water at a temperature of about 38 °C also flows in the lower part of the waterfall.

To reach Makki Waterfall, take the main road from Ravar County toward Makki village. After you arrive at the village, a walking trail begins and leads you to the valley where the waterfall is located. Note that the path to the waterfall may be uneven and rocky, so suitable footwear and necessary equipment are recommended. The best time to visit Makki Waterfall is spring and early summer, when the water flow is greater and the surrounding nature is greener. In these seasons, the weather is also milder and better suited to walking and spending time in nature. To preserve the natural beauty of the area, visitors are advised not to leave litter or damage the vegetation, and to stay on the marked trails.
