Biyar Waterfall

Biyar Waterfall is located in the village of Biyar, in Maneh and Samalqan County, North Khorasan Province, about 52 km west of the city of Bojnord. Rising in the highlands south of the village, the waterfall is roughly 15 meters high and is one of the natural highlights of the region. Its position on the slopes of the Aladagh and Dochang mountains, in a fertile area, gives it higher relative humidity and lusher vegetation than the surrounding plains.

On the way to the waterfall you will pass fruit orchards, vineyards, small springs and tall trees, which together with the flowing water create an atmosphere quite different from the typical landscapes of northeastern Iran. Thanks to the relative humidity and the springs, the area supports shrubs, grapevines, cherry trees and other fruit species, creating a almost forest-like setting in the middle of a semi-arid region. The route to the waterfall is also winding, making for an easy and enjoyable walk for visitors.

To reach Biyar Waterfall, take the Bojnord–Gorgan road from Bojnord and, after about 24 km, turn onto the side road leading to the village of Badranlu. Continue to the town of Ashkhaneh and head south to reach the village of Biyarkord; the waterfall is a short distance from it. The best time to visit is spring, when the water flow is good and the greenery of the area is at its peak. In summer, too, the area is cooler and a visit is pleasant. While visiting, we recommend that you stay on the marked paths, leave no litter, and take particular care near the edge of the waterfall, where there may be slippery ground or other hazards, so that you can enjoy a safe and responsible experience of nature.
