The sound of flowing water against the silence of the forest offers a good place to rest and escape the city. Its location in Bandpey-e Sharqi makes the waterfall, along with the area's other natural attractions, a good choice for forest and nature trips. The unspoiled setting and the variety of vegetation add to its appeal.

To reach Maakhar Waterfall, first travel to Babol County, then to Bandpey-e Sharqi District and the village of Maakhar, and continue along local and forest roads.
