Nowdeh Waterfall

Nowdeh Waterfall is one of the most scenic natural attractions in Ardabil Province, Khalkhal County, Hashtjin District. It lies about 4 kilometers east of Nowdeh village and is known as one of the area's most appealing natural spots. The waterfall sits on the southern slope of the local mountains, north of Mount Aghdagh. About 30 meters high, it spills down over rocky cliffs, creating a delightful, eye-catching view, especially in spring and summer, when the climate is mild and the surrounding vegetation is lush and green.

Thanks to its unspoiled nature, its powerful flow in the wetter seasons and its natural surroundings, the waterfall welcomes tourists and nature lovers from within the province and from other parts of the country. The route to the waterfall passes through mountain scenery and scattered woodland, offering plenty of opportunities for walking, landscape photography and relaxing in nature. The area is covered with oak and walnut trees and mountain plants, which add to its beauty and create colorful scenery, particularly in spring.

To reach Nowdeh Waterfall, follow the rural road from the town of Hashtjin toward Nowdeh village. After reaching the village, you need to walk about 4 kilometers, or travel along dirt roads through the countryside, to get to the waterfall. The route offers different views throughout the year. The best time to visit Nowdeh Waterfall is spring and summer, when the water flows more strongly and the landscape is greener. Autumn, however, also gives visitors a lovely experience with its mild weather and fall colors. While visiting the area, please practice responsible nature tourism: collect your litter, respect wildlife and vegetation, and stay on marked trails to help preserve this natural environment.
