Garmusi Waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It is located in the Lashar region of Nikshahr County, in the settlement of Keshigan (Posht-e Gar). The waterfall lies about four kilometers southwest of Kopch village. Set among mountain scenery and old palm groves, it offers a view quite different from other waterfalls in southeastern Iran. The combination of natural rock formations, year-round flowing water and palm trees creates a pleasant, tranquil setting that attracts nature lovers and fans of unspoiled places every year.

Besides its natural beauty, Garmusi Waterfall also has a local history. According to common accounts, about three centuries ago a man named "Musa" planted a number of palm trees near the waterfall, and since then the area has been known as "Garmusi". The surviving old palms, which are nearly 300 years old, can still be seen around the waterfall and give this natural attraction a unique character. The vegetation, clear water, natural rocks and peaceful atmosphere make Garmusi Waterfall one of the most suitable nature-tourism destinations in the Lashar region.

To reach Garmusi Waterfall, first travel to Nikshahr County, then take the road through the Lashar region toward Kopch village and the settlement of Keshigan (Posht-e Gar). The waterfall is about four kilometers southwest of Kopch village, and the final part of the route follows rural roads. The best time to visit is late winter, spring and the early months of autumn, when the weather in the region is milder and the water flow is good. When visiting, you can help preserve this valuable natural attraction by not leaving litter, not damaging the old palm trees, not polluting water sources and following the principles of responsible nature tourism.
