Hakimbashi Waterfall

Hakimbashi Waterfall, also known as the "Gharghoro Waterfall" (the "Grumbling Waterfall"), is one of the natural attractions of Kazerun County in Fars Province, Iran. It is located in the village of Hosseinabad-e Hakimbashi, and every year, when the autumn and winter rains begin, it puts on a stunning display of water and nature. This seasonal waterfall, with an average height of about 25 meters, lies among the mountain slopes and green valleys of the region and offers a beautiful, unspoiled view. It is a fine destination for mountaineers, nature lovers and anyone who enjoys waterfalls in the highlands of southern Iran.

The waterfall is seasonal: water begins to flow with the first autumn rains and continues until late winter and early spring. While it is flowing, water cascades down the rock face and forms natural pools downstream. In addition to the main waterfall, which is about 25 meters high, there is a series of smaller, beautiful waterfalls above it, creating pristine scenery and a captivating landscape. The waterfall's sources lie in the Mahur area, and when the rainy season begins, this group of waterfalls comes back to life. The torrential flow and strength of the water (especially in late winter) have created very beautiful and rare pools below. The surroundings include seasonally green valleys and mountain slopes, giving nature lovers and nature photographers a good opportunity to experience the unspoiled landscapes of southern Iran.

To reach Hakimbashi Waterfall, you usually travel from Shiraz toward Qaemiyeh (Chenar Shahijan), then continue along rural roads to Hosseinabad-e Hakimbashi, where the footpath to the waterfall begins. The best time to visit is from autumn to early spring, since the water flows more strongly during this period and the weather in the area is milder. While visiting, it is essential to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including not leaving litter, respecting wildlife and keeping to the marked trails to protect the area's vegetation.
