Golosang Waterfall

Golosang Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Kaleybar County in East Azerbaijan Province. It lies near Golosang village, in the heart of the Arasbaran Protected Area. The waterfall flows in the forested highlands, along footpaths lined with oak, hornbeam, cornelian cherry and wild pomegranate trees, giving visitors a cool, green scene among the mountain heights. The route to the waterfall starts on the Kaleybar–Jananlou road, and after you reach Golosang village, a forest walking trail continues to the waterfall.

Golosang Waterfall lies at an elevation of about 1,300 metres above sea level amid dense forest, and the hike to it usually takes 3 to 4 hours round trip. The route passes through the green landscapes of Arasbaran and is especially appealing to lovers of nature tourism, forest trekking and landscape photography. The forest and mountain vegetation, together with the flowing water, creates a cool and pleasant atmosphere even in the warm seasons, which has made Golosang Waterfall a good destination for spring and summer visits.

To reach Golosang Waterfall, you usually first travel to the city of Kaleybar in East Azerbaijan and then drive to the vicinity of Golosang village. Once you reach the village, a standard forest and mountain walking trail continues to the waterfall. The best time to visit is usually spring and summer, when the weather is milder and the trails are better suited for hiking. Along the trails, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as collecting all your litter, staying on the marked footpaths and keeping the environment peaceful to avoid damaging the vegetation.
