Semirom Waterfall

Semirom Waterfall is one of the best-known natural attractions in Isfahan Province and one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Zagros Mountains. It lies 4 km east of the town of Semirom and about 160 km south of the city of Isfahan. About 35 metres high, the waterfall sits in a lush, rocky gorge. Its unrivalled scenery, cool climate and mountain setting have earned it the nickname "Bride of the Zagros". On 20 Bahman 1389 (Solar Hijri), Semirom Waterfall was registered as Iran's 91st National Natural Monument, and today it is one of the most important tourist destinations in the south of Isfahan Province.

The waterfall is fed by the springs of the Jowzar farmlands and the Azizkhan spring. After dropping from the rock face, the water forms small stepped cascades and attractive views along its course. The surroundings, with native trees, green orchards, varied vegetation and pleasant air, make for an enjoyable setting for visitors. The waterfall's tourist complex also offers facilities such as parking, gazebos, camping platforms, restrooms, a snack bar, a restaurant and food stalls, which make visiting easy and pleasant for families. In winter, the waterfall sometimes freezes, creating a spectacular and very different scene in the area.

To reach Semirom Waterfall, first travel to the town of Semirom, then take the waterfall road from the town's eastern exit. After about 4 km you will reach the waterfall's tourist complex, and just a few minutes' walk takes you to the attraction. The best time to visit is from late spring to the end of summer, although seeing the frozen waterfall in winter has its own special appeal. While you are here, please do not leave litter, damage the vegetation, light fires in unsuitable places, or pollute the water of the springs and the waterfall, so that this valuable natural heritage can be preserved for future generations.
