Nandel Waterfall

Nandel Waterfall, one of the unspoiled natural attractions of Mazandaran Province, is located in the summer village of Nandel in Larijan District, Amol County. The village sits at an altitude of about 2,300 metres above sea level and, because of its proximity to Mount Damavand, is known as one of the main routes for climbing this massive peak. Nandel Waterfall is reached via the Haraz Road. After passing through tunnels No. 7 and 8, a turn-off to the west of the road leads you through the villages of Hajidela, Miandeh, Razan and Karaf, and finally to the village of Nandel. This route is about 15 kilometres long, and most of it is a dirt road.

Nandel Waterfall lies downstream of a metal bridge and plunges down from a tall cliff. With an impressive height, the waterfall sits among rocky cliffs in a deep valley. Around the waterfall you can see a diverse cover of medicinal plants and wild mountain greens, which look especially beautiful in spring. Nandel's cold mountain air, with its misty spring rains, creates a dreamy, enchanting atmosphere for visitors.

To reach Nandel Waterfall, after arriving in the village of Nandel you need to walk about 30 minutes along steep mountain paths. The best time to visit the waterfall is from early spring to mid-summer, because during this period the water flow is at its peak and the surrounding nature is in full bloom. Also, because of the area's mountainous location, visiting the waterfall is not recommended in the cold seasons of the year due to severe cold and the possibility of snowfall. To preserve the region's natural beauty, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not damaging the vegetation and not littering.
