Ogineh Waterfall

Ogineh Waterfall is one of the most outstanding natural attractions of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It is located in southeastern Iran, in the Lashar District of Nikshahr County. Known among locals as "Garpasht", the waterfall lies about 3 kilometres west of the village of Ogineh. At an approximate height of 80 metres, it is regarded as the tallest waterfall in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. The Lashar region lies along the Chabahar–Iranshahr–Zahedan transit road, and this major road makes it easier for travellers to reach this natural wonder.

Ogineh Waterfall flows down through rock walls and the relatively green mountains of the Lashar District, and the valley and surrounding area offer a beautiful landscape for travellers and nature lovers. The waterfall carries a considerable flow, especially in spring and after seasonal rains. It gives nature lovers good opportunities for photography, walks along the surrounding trails, and the experience of a natural, unspoiled setting. In the pools below the waterfall you can find spots to rest and watch the falling water, offering a different kind of nature tourism experience.

To reach Ogineh Waterfall, you can set out from the city of Nikshahr or Chabahar and, once you arrive in the Lashar District, take village roads and minor roads towards the village of Ogineh. Reaching the waterfall requires a short walk through the countryside, so the best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the water flow is better and the weather is more pleasant for walking. While hiking and passing through natural trails, visitors should follow the principles of responsible tourism, such as keeping the area clean, respecting the environment and not leaving litter behind.
