Doreck Waterfall

Doreck Waterfall is one of the unspoiled natural attractions of Isfahan Province. It lies near the village of Doreck, in Poshtkuh District of Fereydunshahr County. Set among the heights of the Zagros Mountains, the waterfall pours down a tall rock wall, creating a stunning scene of water, rock and mountain landscape. The village of Doreck sits beside the Ab-e Gooran River (the Doreck River) and is about 140 kilometres from the town of Fereydunshahr. Because this area is one of the lesser-known parts of the Zagros, the surrounding nature remains pristine and peaceful, far from the crowds of typical tourist destinations.

Doreck Waterfall is a rare showcase of the mountain scenery of Fereydunshahr, formed among tall cliffs and the region's vegetation. The area around the waterfall and nearby villages such as Kolooseh, Vestegan and Kahegan offers beautiful natural landscapes, seasonal and permanent rivers, green slopes and the diverse ecosystem of the Zagros. The difficult access and the distance from urban areas mean this region has been little disturbed and has kept its natural character. Doreck Waterfall is a great destination for lovers of nature tourism, photography and hiking, and for anyone seeking a quiet, little-known natural place in the heart of the Zagros.

To reach Doreck Waterfall, first travel to Fereydunshahr County in Isfahan Province, then take the route towards Poshtkuh District and the village of Doreck. On many winter days the road to this area is closed by heavy snowfall, and in other seasons parts of it are dirt and rocky track. A vehicle suited to rough roads is therefore essential, and you should check road conditions before you travel. The best time to visit Doreck Waterfall is spring and summer, when the weather is milder, the routes are more accessible and the surrounding nature is greener. When visiting this pristine area, please do not leave litter, damage vegetation, make noise or harm the natural environment, so that the untouched beauty of this part of the Zagros is preserved.
