Damji Gheyeh Waterfall is located in East Azerbaijan Province, within Marand County, near the town of Zonuz and the village of Darq. The waterfall lies east of Darq village, a short distance from the area's farmland, and has formed in the mountain heights northeast of Zonuz. Its setting on cold, mountainous slopes has made it known as one of the region's pristine and little-touched natural attractions.

The waterfall, about 5 metres high, seeps out from between layers of limestone and, after emerging from the rock wall, gathers in a natural pool at the foot of the cliffs. At an elevation of about 2,008 metres above sea level, the area has a cold, semi-mountainous climate, and for most of the year the air is cool to cold. The natural landscapes and orchards of the Zonuz area around the waterfall and along the routes leading to it look lush and picturesque, especially in spring and summer.

Damji Gheyeh Waterfall can be reached via the Marand–Jolfa road, then the route to Zonuz and Darq village; from there, a short walk through farmland leads to the waterfall. The best time to visit is spring, when the water flow is stronger and the surrounding countryside is greener. Because the area is unspoiled, it is very important to practise responsible nature tourism: keep the environment clean, avoid damaging the rocks and vegetation, and do not leave litter behind.
