Zangat Waterfall

Zangat Waterfall is one of the natural attractions of Neka County in Mazandaran Province. It lies south of the village of Zangat Paeen, in a lush, forested area. About 20 meters high, the waterfall is set among the dense forests of the Hezarjarib region and is considered one of the area's most notable sights. After flowing down from the heights south of the village, Zangat Waterfall eventually joins the Zarem River. Thanks to its distinctive geographic setting amid a mix of mountains, forest and plain, it offers a rare landscape that makes it an appealing destination for nature lovers.

The waterfall forms a series of steps, which gives it a distinctive and eye-catching look. The dense and varied vegetation around it includes species such as hornbeam, boxwood, oak, maple, wild medlar and wild cherry plum, turning the surroundings into a lush and enchanting setting. Medicinal plants and various kinds of wildflowers further enrich the natural character of the area. The waterfall's proximity to the village of Zangat Paeen, with its traditional and peaceful character, means the area is worth visiting not only for its natural attractions but also for its culture and village life, and it offers a good place to rest and escape the bustle of the city.

To reach Zangat Waterfall, first travel to Neka County, then follow the route through Chelmardi, Safamian and Valdimeh to the village of Zangat Paeen. From the village, a short walk along forest paths takes you to the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring and early autumn, when nature is at its most beautiful and the waterfall carries more water. When visiting this area, it is very important to practice responsible nature tourism: do not leave litter, protect the vegetation, and respect the pristine, peaceful environment of the village, so that this natural attraction is preserved for future generations.
