Zomorrod Waterfall

Zomorrod Waterfall is one of the most beautiful and appealing natural attractions in Gilan Province, set in the heart of the region's lush forests. It lies near Zomorrod village and is a popular destination for travellers and nature lovers. With its clear, transparent water and the natural landscape around it, the waterfall captivates every visitor. Thanks to its considerable height and powerful flow, Zomorrod Waterfall gives the surrounding scenery a special grandeur and beauty.

Zomorrod Waterfall is known as the "Twin Waterfall" because it consists of two waterfalls side by side. If you stand facing the waterfall, you will see that the one on the left is small and stepped: it has two drops, four and eight metres high, and carries less water. After running a few metres, its water pours into a fairly large pool below. The second waterfall is on the right-hand side and is about 15 metres high; it is more roaring and carries more water than the other.

The water flowing over Zomorrod Waterfall is cool and makes an excellent habitat for trout. The waterfall is also surrounded by Hyrcanian forests. Among the trees you can see oak, acacia, pear, boxwood, pomegranate, Persian ironwood (arjang), cherry plum, walnut and many other species. Because the area is mountainous, it is very humid in the warm seasons and very cold in the cold seasons, so the best times to visit are spring and autumn. However, since one of the features of Zomorrod Waterfall is that it roars all year round, you will see visitors heading to Haviq village and the waterfall in every season.

You do not need professional hiking equipment to reach the waterfall, but a good pair of shoes will help you get there comfortably and without worry. Along with good shoes, if you carry a water bottle and a light backpack, you can enjoy your route even more.
