Pasang Waterfall

Pasang Waterfall is a seasonal natural waterfall in the mountainous area of Darband in northern Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran. It lies along the hiking route leading to the Shirpala Shelter, alongside several other waterfalls such as the Doqolu (Twin) Waterfall and the Sutak Waterfall, and forms part of the chain of waterfalls in the Alborz heights. Pasang Waterfall flows over two medium-height tiers, and its cool water comes from the melting snow of the upstream heights. It is fullest in spring and early summer, creating a beautiful mountain scene.

Because it sits on the Darband to Shirpala hiking route, the waterfall is well known among nature lovers, climbers and fans of mountain scenery. In the warm months it is also a popular destination for escaping the city heat and enjoying nature in the Tehran highlands. The route to Pasang Waterfall combines mountain footpaths with rocky sections. It requires a general level of fitness for mountain walking, and previous experience is recommended.

The trip to Pasang Waterfall usually starts from the Darband area of Tehran. After following the Darband hiking trail and reaching the Pas-Qaleh area, the mountain route continues, and by following the mountain footpath toward the Shirpala Shelter you will come to the waterfall. The best time to visit is from early spring to early summer, when melting snow increases the flow of water and the weather is better suited to hiking. During your visit, it is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as keeping the trail clean, not damaging the mountain vegetation, and respecting other hikers.
