Kalgan Waterfall

Kalgan Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It is located in the village of Shagim in Nikshahr County and, together with Taskan Waterfall, is regarded as one of the unspoiled natural sights of this area. With its mountain scenery and the greenery around it, the Shagim region is known as a notable nature-tourism destination in the south of the province. Thanks to several small and large waterfalls set among rocky valleys and palm groves, the area offers an atmosphere quite different from the rest of the province, which is mostly dry and hot, and this draws travellers and nature lovers.

Kalgan Waterfall flows in the highlands of the Shagim region, and its water flow becomes more impressive than elsewhere in the area during the rainy seasons. The waterfalls here, including Kalgan and Taskan, present a stunning view of water running over the rocks, combined with local vegetation including shrubs, palms and native species of the region. This makes the area well suited to nature walks, sightseeing and photography.

To reach Kalgan Waterfall, visitors usually travel along the dirt tracks of the Shagim region and, after a short walk through the local vegetation, arrive at the foot of the waterfall. The best time to visit is winter, spring and summer, when the water flow is better and the weather is more pleasant for exploring nature. While visiting, it is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as not leaving litter, keeping the area clean, and respecting wildlife and native vegetation, so that the natural beauty of the area is preserved for future visitors.
