Soulak Waterfall

Soulak Waterfall (also spelled Soulik) lies in Targovar Rural District, in Silvaneh District, about 32 kilometres from the city of Urmia, and is one of the region's most striking natural sights. The waterfall is part of the unspoiled natural landscape of West Azerbaijan, near the country's border, and thanks to its mountain setting and cool climate it is a popular destination among nature lovers. The water comes mainly from the heights of the Zagros Range: snow pits on Mount Soulak and springs flowing in the Targovar mountains feed its clear, year-round flow, keeping this natural scene fresh and lasting.

In the bed of a rocky, fairly steep valley, Soulak Waterfall cascades down natural stone steps, creating a rare and beautiful view. According to some reports, the waterfall is about 76 metres high, and its tiered structure gives visitors a distinctive and spectacular sight. This natural arrangement of the rocks not only looks beautiful but also makes the flowing water produce a soothing sound, which makes being there even more enjoyable. The valley's climate is especially appealing in summer: the year-round flow of water, the shade of the mountain and the cool breeze create a pleasant, refreshing environment, making it a good nature destination on hot days. Mountain plants such as rhubarb and artichoke thistle grow around the waterfall, enriching the natural scenery and completing the view.

You can reach Soulak Waterfall by taking the Anhar road towards the Sero–Razhan route; the first village you come to along the way is Soulak, which leads to the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring, when the weather in the area is mild and the water flow is at its peak. Visitors are advised to respect nature and avoid littering, damaging plants and polluting the water, so that this beautiful attraction remains intact for future generations.
