Halmasi Waterfall

Halmasi Waterfall is in East Azerbaijan Province, in the county of Mianeh. It lies near Halmasi village (Yelimchi), in Baravanan-e Sharqi Rural District, Turkmanchay District. The waterfall sits in a rural, mountainous part of the east of the province. It has formed in a natural setting whose main character comes from the village and the surrounding pastureland views. Its relatively high elevation and distance from urban areas have helped it keep its unspoiled, peaceful atmosphere.

The waterfall is not very tall, but it is known among the region's nature lovers as a local natural attraction. Water flows between the rocks and along the natural streambed, creating a calm and pleasant spot. In the wetter seasons it becomes livelier and fuller. Halmasi village has a mountain location and a cold climate, so the landscape is fairly green in spring and summer, while winters are cold and long. This variety of climate adds to the area's appeal for visitors.

You can reach Halmasi Waterfall via the roads of Mianeh County, then the secondary roads leading to Turkmanchay District and Halmasi village. After that, a short walk along village paths is needed. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the water flow is better and the surrounding nature is at its greenest. Because the area is rural and natural, it is essential to practise responsible nature tourism: keep the environment clean, respect farmland and do not damage the waterfall's natural bed.
