Kimon Waterfall

Kimon Waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions of Mazandaran Province. It lies in Babol County, in the Bandpey-e Sharqi (Eastern Bandpey) district, in the heart of the village of the same name. The waterfall is about 30 kilometres from the city of Babol and is set amid lush, forested nature. Located in a mountainous, forest-covered area, the village of Kimon offers visitors rare views where mountains, river and dense vegetation come together. A clear river flows through the village; besides supplying the area with water, it plays an important role in forming this beautiful waterfall and gives the surroundings a special freshness.

For tourism, Kimon Waterfall is a good destination for nature lovers thanks to its unspoiled character and its forest setting. The waterfall is fed by a rushing river and has formed a natural pool downstream, which is used for swimming in the warm months of the year. The tall trees and dense vegetation around the waterfall create a delightful, peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for photography, resting and enjoying the silence of nature. The lack of extensive facilities around the site has kept its nature untouched and gives visitors an authentic experience of being in a natural environment.

To reach Kimon Waterfall, first get to the city of Babol, then take Noshirvani Boulevard, cross the Mohammad Hasan Khan Bridge and enter Habibi Road. Continue through several villages and, after about 25 kilometres, you will reach the village of Kimon; from there, a short walk leads to the waterfall. An alternative route is possible via the Firuzkuh road, through Shirgah and the Eslamabad road. The best time to visit the waterfall is spring and summer, when it carries more water and the surrounding nature is greener, although autumn also has its own charm with its eye-catching colours. When visiting this area, it is very important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism, including collecting your litter, avoiding damage to the vegetation and keeping the environment clean.
